Connection issues - newb to bf1942 ded server...

[Reno Romanin]

OK, I'm getting a server up and running on my linux machine and can see
everything in the status monitor, but when I start the client, I can see
it in the list, but the ping jumps to 9999. I can still connect, and my
ping is about what it should be to this server. Also, I can't seem to
connect with bfrm either, it just times out after I have done
admin.enableremoteconsole <name> <pass> 

Am I missing something?

TIA
