I'm not sure if that's just a typo, but there should be a space before every
'+'

I've tested it locally, and it works for me, with the following exact
command line:
C:\Program Files\EA Games\Battlefield Vietnam>BfVietnam +game BfVietnam
+restart 1 +hostServer 1 +generateMD5 Ho_Chi_Minh_Trail

That won't generally work.  The server and the client don't necessarily have
the same content in the rfa files.  The LevelCheck.con file is used for the
server to verify client data.  The actual rfas don't have to be in sync.

I believe that it simply won't check the sums for that map.  Andreas should
be able to confirm or deny this -- the content check system is his
brainchild.  :)
