Rick,
Are you behind a firewall, I ping your server at 125-150, you appear to
be running the current version. After the patch did you shutdown for
20-30 minutes, mine did not show up after the patch, I kept checking for
2 hours, then I shut down for about 30 mins and when I restarted the
server it was on the in-game browser and listed using the audit tool.
Dont know if this will help, but it cant hurt to try.
