you left a objects.ddb file in your servers Data folder

You can leave what you want in the server directory. Remember, the CTFmod from Vloktboky uses an objects.ddb... 
1) You must run the Client first before starting the FDS. This is a WOLapi Bug. NOTE: You will need twice as much Bandwidth of your Internet connection in this situation.
2)paging the server is waste of time because the server cant invite you into your own game. When you are in the game listings, they're sorted alphabetically. You only have to know the server's name.
3)If you can't find your own server on WOL, check the server.ini. It should be set to WOL. You can leave the field LoginServer blank, the FDS will connect with the US-WOL. Since XWIS hosts the WOLservers, it's all in one Channel.
4)Be sure to have an extra serial. WOL is checking if you are using a valid serial or not. The 0669xxxx Numbers are only needed for installing the FDS. To get it running on WOL, you must enter a valid serial from a Renegade Client (it's being printed on the backside of the Manual). This is the serial you installed Renegade with.
5) JPNOD got it. When running a FDS AND Client on one Machine, your Ping won't be over 20-40 (depending on your connectin). The others must take the longer way through the Internet and will have higher Pings.
6) for any Errors, take a look into the FDS console while running it. It spits out every Error, mostly with a Solution how to fix it.

You cannot leave an objects file in your data dir or else the server won't show on the listings. Also, the server host will not nessary get 20-40. Depends on the bandwidth you allocated and set the netupdaterate. I get 50 ping from my own server, and so do other people the only time 1 person has complained about lag was the korean kid who was also downloading stuff in the background and was geting 200 ping..
Also, the fds console will not tell you if your server is on the listings are not (there is no error), so the only was is to check yourself. If you want to keep the objects.ddb file in your data file, just give people your direct connection info (server ip+port) and they connect like that.
