it's quite simple to do..

but before I provide the details, let me assure you, if you want to get better at Q2, just playing on your own server with a few friends won't assist you much in that category.

all you need to do is goto your multiplayer options and select create a server.. set your dmflags and away you go.
give your friends your IP, and have them connect.

good luck in your games!

what he said ^^ .. providing..:

1) ports are forwarded correctly
2) you have a static ip
3) your pc is powerful enough and your connection is sufficient to hold the players

alternatively - www.r1ch.net , download the r1q2 dedicated server thingy ma bob

I would get OSP Tourney. It makes things a lot easier. http://www.tastyspleen.net/quake/downloads/mods/osp_tourney/

Run TourneyCE, It's pretty easy... just set it up how you want it and hit run. Give your friends your IP and

ok i did the tourney one and im just confused with that one >_< umm i really need help

tourneyCE is just a program to help you set up the server. There are LOTS of different settings you can change, this makes it easier than modifying configs and whatnot.
Go to File > Open. Open up "dmonly.cfg" in your tourney folder. Then go to File again and hit Run Quake 2!

The 3rd player problem sounds like a router issue... are you sure you're giving him your internet IP? (not your network ip, which would look like this: 192.168.0.100)

BTW, you dont have to use TourneyCE... you can always do what Element said.

What (if any) error messages does your friend get?

Spade · « **Reply #9 on:** August 05, 2006, 03:34:02 PM »

no he just cant find our server we give him our ip not network ip and it still doesnt find it

UUD-40 · « **Reply #10 on:** August 05, 2006, 03:39:40 PM »

tell him to type connect, then your ip.

EX, typing this into your console will send you to Monsterkill's DM server: "connect 216.32.69.178:27912"

If that doesnt work Its gotta be your router/firewall blocking him.
I've never had to mess with this stuff for quake 2 but try this: http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/routerindex.htm
select your router brand/model and find quake 2.
