Cannot host server under Windows 7 (Home Premium)

Seriously what the hell is this? I can connect using localhost (127.0.0.1) and private router IP's, but whenever me or someone else tries to connect to my direct IP, this happens:

There was no server crash either, it just refuses to do anything with inbound connections that aren't coming from localhost or private IP..

This is my firewall settings, I have every port open (Even UDP and TCP protocols) and it's forwared to my new computer (NewHope), I used to beable to host fine on my old PC, but why the hell can't I do it on this new one? I even turned off windows firewall to no avail, would someone tell me what the F[ch8204]U[ch8204]C[ch8204]K is going on with this piece of s[ch8204]h[ch8204]i[ch8204]t!?

I'm trying to betatest QuakePak with some friends of mine, but they can't connect and neither can I, what the hell, do I have to use VPN's to get this f[ch8204]u[ch8204]c[ch8204]k[ch8204]e[ch8204]r to work...?


EDIT: Apparently I can't connect to my own server.... But other people can.. I'm really wondering what's breaking...

I would start here first, go to this microsoft site and run the evaluation tool to check and see if your router is compatable with windows 7.
I had a similar problem a while back and a new router fixed the problem. That was when I ran 227E. I just recently came back to Unreal and just installed it, and patch version 227F. I am running Windows 7 Pro, and ran Windows 7 ultimate and had no problems with server. Hats off to all the people involved with 227....
Fantastic Job All!
Also you will get 4 windows firewall popups with windows 7.
LAN inbound and outbound
Internet inbound and outbound.
You must click allow to all 4 windows firewall popups.

Do you have admin powers in your OS? Run the program as administrator (right click, the second option) and see if this solves your problem.

I set most of my "Compatibility" options for all users to "Run as administrator" I also turned off UAC.

I really hate how Windows evolved... I don't care about things being insecure when I have anti spyware and anti virus running, so I just want to have the only user account as "SYSTEM" and having everything running on it... Windows 98 wasn't as restrictive...

Code: Select all

Init: Command line: DMDeck16?Game=UnrealShare.CoopGame -server -log -alladmin LOG=Server.log
Note:

It is very recommended to use UCC.exe (or UCCLinux.bin) instead of Unreal.exe (or UnrealLinux.bin) when hosting a server!

Like this (shown as command-line):

Code: Select all

UCC.exe server DMDeck16?Game=UnrealShare.CoopGame -log -alladmin LOG=Server.log

UCC crashes upon closing and I notice no difference between UCC and Unreal.EXE -server other than the latter giving me the ability to change the servers preferences without a restart...
