OK my batch file works fine and stuff but when its done loading my server comes up dead and the command box says:

Authentication: Connected...
Authentication: Sending Response...
Authentication: Connected...
Authentication: SUCCESS
Posting to master server
Posting to rtb server
Posting to rtb server
Posting to master server

That's a good thing. It's supposed to do that.

[Zell]

oh then good! But still is dead, does port forwarding have to do anything with it?

[Truce]

Well, yeah, if its dead then you didn't forward your ports correctly or your firewall is disabling its access to the internet. I just meant it's supposed to keep on posting the data to the rtb and master servers.

I port forwarded, and my games show up as dead, for me on query internet.  I have to join from query LAN, while others can join from the internet.  Pretty strange eh?  Give that a try.
