    ok im having a problem trying to run an americas army server off my spare pc.
    i have two pcs on the same LAN.(not on a router, it blew so now im using my old netgear ethernet hub).
    the specs on my 1st PC are..
    windows XP home
    P4 3.2 ghz
    1536mb dual channel DDR ram
    radeon 9800 pro
    160gb HD

    the specs for the 2nd PC are..(this is the one i want to run the server on)
    windows XP home
    P4 1.6 ghz
    512mb DDR
    radeon 9200 se(crappy card but i dont think that matters)
    40gb HD

    ok... i can play americas army fine on both computers,both online at the same time.and i can host a server on my 1st pc fine.but when i try to run it on my 2nd one it seems to start the server up fine when i double click the runserver.bat file.(it goes through all the same text in dos that it did on my 1st pc) but when i try to connect to the server.i never can. ive tried getting others to connect to it ..and nothing.it seems that the server is running fine but nobody can connect.i just did a fresh reformat on the 2nd pc and it has no firewalls. any ideas?? any other info you need??

    Well, it's not like people are paid for coming here and helping you. Besides, maybe no one knows how to fix it? It's been viewed 43 times, so people are actually looking at it.

    Haven't run an AAO server in a long time. I forget what the min specs are for the server, are you sure 1.6 is enough horsepower?

    Also have you tried the forums at AAO? There are tons of server guys over there that can probably figure this out for you in a snap.
