Yes, I meant LAN games (LOCAL Area Network) and I got it fixed. I had some settings in my server_info.cfg that should have been in my settings_custom.cfg and vice versa. You can try it, it's called |TSD|CozaStyle.

OK, this is getting strange. I've had the server working repeatedly, and yet every time I restart it, it shows up in the Master Server's list for ~5 minutes and then it goes away. I'm always able to play LAN games. What is going on?
Thanks,

You probably haven't set up port forwarding (correctly). Look here: http://wiki.armagetronad.net/index.php? ... e_wrong.3F

The fact that it works initially is just your router using unusual NAT algorithms. The master's initial ping to your server succeeds, but the next (7-8 minutes later) already fails to get a response.

The thing is, it IS set to forward Port 4534 to my server's IP, which is set to be reserved to that computer forever. What else could it be?

Did you pick UDP? Dunno what else it can be, if it's not your server shutting down (check the logs).
