Hi all , well last night i had to redo my server do to login failures i could repair, was last resort.
In any case I also had to DL the dedicated server as my zipped file was corrupt:eek: after installing everything server adds muts etc it started fine......but the server pings , i assume its gamespy . Before there was a section called
[IpDrv.MasterServerUplink] and a spot to set Uplink to Gamespy to false. Well the new Typeinihere file doesnt seem to have it so i added it myself:

[IpDrv.MasterServerUplink]
DoUplink=True
UplinkToGamespy=False
SendStats=false
ServerBehindNAT=True
DoLANBroadcast=False

Seems to still activate lights on router every few secs. Did i miss anything?
Any ideas? thanks

What you did there should do the trick.

You dont by any chance have another ServerQuery ServerActor running by some chance, also some mods will ping GameSpy also.

The other thing is if you ever at any stage had that as set to True then your server is now registered at GameSpy and GameSpy will now and for ever more ping your server and it will answer whether set to False or not.

I think the AES/GS servers will stop bothering you when they haven't recieved any heartbeats for a while (probably 30 minutes or so). Shouldn't need to do anything.
