<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>
