<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello Phil,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I believe the reason you are getting a server
timeout message is because your ping is higher than allowed for new connections
in your server configuration file. There is a server command that
specifies this. For example, consider the following line in your
server.cfg file:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>sv_maxping 500</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If you try to connect to the server with an initial
ping higher than the value specified, you will eventually get the server timeout
message. You should be able to see this if you have the following variable
set and are watching the server output:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>developer 1</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The quickest way to see if this is truly causing
your problem is to remove this setting and see what happens. Regarding the
way to specify a different server port than 12203, you should be able to add the
following arguments on your server command line to set both the IP and port the
server will use:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>+set net_IP 216.42.80.176 +set
net_port 12204 (change the IP and port to the proper settings for
your server)</FONT></DIV>
