[mohaa] Question about server

[BhAaD{EdgE}]

you dont need to have machine directly connected to the internet.
you can forward the required ports by gamespy (dont remember them....try
google)
if you forward the ports, it will work fine
try to forward all ports that the server is running (12203, gamespy, etc)
