Default error

I created a server, but when my friend tried to log, the server crashed to login screen and said he may need to 'rerun the patcher'. How do i fix this?

anyone have any idea?

i made the server just for me and my friend to play on, so its not like its full with other people. its off of my computer, if that matters, but i thought it'd be ok with just 2 people.

also, it did the same thign to him when i wasn't on

Is your friend getting any error messages? From what you describe, it sounds like your server isn't reachable. Do you have a firewall on your computer? Are you behind a router?

Disable any firewalls, forward ports 7000-7020 to your IP address, and set yourself as DMZ host.

to forward the ports, i got into the IP address using browser (linksys) apps and gamin, and enable 7000-7020. but how do i make myself DMZ?

Setting yourself as DMZ is done in the router. It is located in a different place for every router, so check the user manual.
