What do you mean with no showing up? It's not showing up in your own computer or in other computers? You're trying to see in on LAN or in Internet games?

Did you optimized it for LAN? Your UT connection is still ISDN or you already changed that for LAN?

I would make even more questions, so you have to be more specific.

That really sounds like you have a router and you have no idea how to set it up or what it does. If so then the problem has nothing to do whit Vista. What a router does is that it shares an external IP address over a local area network. That way computers from the internet can't access your computer. All they can see is the router and unless you tell the router to forward all data that comes from the internet on a specific port to your computer there will be no communication between your server and it's clients.
Port forwarding isn't easy if you have minimal or no IT experience, so I suggest contacting someone who knows and do all the port forwarding you need. If you're interested in fixing things for yourself, follow these links and use google.com

And don't forget to disable your firewalls, or add your program as an exception.

Oh, i see ive made some spelling errors here, i ment my server list, as in the servers thats on the net.
As in public servers, and that does not have anything to do with my router me thinks :p

But i think you got the wrong idea about my question.
Ile ask it again, properly explained.

I press find multiplayer games, no servers showing, and im asking myself why, and now im asking you that :P

Hey, Thanks for the "plug" Myth! :gj:
Same problem, another forums: http://hooksutplace.freeforums.org/my-s ... -t403.html
YES - I had some hair pulling out times with my server! LOL :loool:
But it was just ONE little setting that was blocking my server from getting out on the net.

BUT, You say that NO servers show up in your browser? (None?)
Have you updated your master server URLs in your ini file lately?
That also helps!
Also - go to: http://hooksutplace.freeforums.org/see- ... -t355.html to see ALL the UT99 servers!
Check out the 1st post!
They show up there no matter what IF they are out on the web.
Also for a sorted view of DM servers ...

Does that help?
Does YOURs show up there? :?
