Hi - I'm having problems getting a Renegade Dedicated Server off the ground - I was hoping someone here could spot what I've done wrong.

I'm continuously getting the same message;
http://www.3dxl.com/shaun/ren.jpg

My Server.ini ;

--------------------------------------------------------------
;
;
; Server Settings .INI file for Renegade Free Dedicated Server.
;
; This file controls the behavior of a Renegade Free Dedicated Server. The
; first instance of the server is referred to as the Master Server and it can
; control up to seven other local instances of the server. These are referred
; to as Slave Servers.
;
; Each slave server must have it's own login information and serial number.
; Each slave server can have it's own game settings, seperate from the master.

;
; Renegade Master Server settings.
;
; This section contains the settings for the Master Renegade Server.

[Server]

; Config =
;
; This specifies the location of the game settings file used by the master
; server. You can change this to point to any Renegade server settings .ini
; file or change the default .ini file to reflect the game settings you would
; like for your server.

Config = svrcfg_cnc.ini


; GameType =
;
; Set this to WOL for a Westwood Online dedicated server.
; Set this to GameSpy for a GameSpy mode dedicated server.
; Set this to LAN for a LAN mode dedicated server.
;

GameType = WOL


; Nickname =
;
; This is the Westwood Online nickname you will use when logging into the
; Westwood Online matchmaking system. You can use a nickname from a previous
; Westwood Studios game or apply for a new one by copying the following line
; and pasting it into your web browsers address window
;
; http://register.westwood.com

Nickname = ********


;
; Password =
;
; This is the password that matches the nickname used above.

Password = ********


; Serial =
;
; The serial number that you specified when installing the Renegade Dedicated
; Server.

Serial = ********

; LoginServer =
;
; This field can be used to specify the Westwood Online matchmaking server
; to connect to. If left blank, the Renegade Server will connect to the
; closest matchmaking server. To specify a server to connect to, use one of
; the names listed above in the section 'Available Westwood Servers'.

LoginServer = European Server


; Port =
;
; This is the UDP port that the Renegade Dedicated Server will use to
; communicate with game clients. This should normally be left at 0 and the
; Server will decide for itself what port to use. This should work with most
; firewalls and NAT connections but, if you need to manually set a port, you
; can do it here.

Port = 0


; GameSpyGamePort =
;
; This is the UDP port that the Renegade Dedicated Server will use to
; communicate with game clients, while running as a GameSpy Server. When running
; as a GameSpy server this port value will be used instead of the above Port value.
; The default value is 4848.

GameSpyGamePort = 0


; GameSpyQueryPort =
;
; This is the UDP port that the Renegade Dedicated Server will use to
; communicate with the GameSpy Master Server and GameSpy clients. The default
; value is 25300. If this port is in use Renegade will find another port
; to use instead(25301, 25302, ...).

GameSpyQueryPort = 0


; BandwidthUp =
;
; If you know how much bandwidth you want to allocate for the Renegade
; Server to use then you can specify it here. A minimum of 60k bits per second
; is recommended for each client you plan to connect to. If you leave this
; value as 0 (the default) then the available bandwidth will be automatically
; detected(WOL only). Some guidelines follow.
;
; Set to 1500000 for a 32 player game
; Set to 750000 for a 16 player game
; Set to 250000 for an 8 player game
;
; Make sure you don't set the Bandwidth number to be higher than your
; actual available bandwidth or gameplay performance will be poor.

BandwidthUp = 0

; NetUpdateRate =
;
; Set this to control the frequency of network updates sent to clients. This
; is the number of updates sent per second. Higher values increase network
; traffic, lower values decrease traffic. Valid values must be in the 5 - 30
; range. As you increase NetUpdateRate the values set for BandwidthUp must
; also scale accordingly. The default is 10.

NetUpdateRate = 10


; AllowRemoteAdmin =

; Set this to true to enable remote server administration via the RenRem
; tool. You must also set a password for remote administration to be
; allowed.
; Slave servers inherit this setting from the master.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe the same channel name is in use?

In the end it doesn't matter if you are who you say you are. You will still mean nothing to me.

When i have kids, everytime i drive past a fast food restaurant, im gonna punch my kid in the face, then they'll never wanna come..

I got it working briefly by using a Dedicates Server Menu prog - I have since broken it again, but I'm on the right track - Thanks for helping.

OK - Think making the game passworded messes it up - Are there any guidlines to password characters/length?
