Last Month the Japanese try to retrive this mod a little bit more. They played in the at 2pm CET. At the moment the gametracker,com Server Monitorring is off. Hope soon they turn it on. The ranking seems to work.
First make sure you put in a proper server name, and choose to start and internet server and not local.
Make sure the crappy windows xp firewall is turned off ( start, settings, control panel, network connections, right click on the connection, and choose properties, and then go into the advanced tab for the firewall tickbox ).
If you have something like norton firewall, make sure you de-activate that while running the server.
If your internet goes through a hardware based firewall/router, you either have to set portforwarding for the BF port 14567 to the internal IP of the PC running the server. Alternatively, you can set the internal IP as a DMZ ( de-militarized zone ) which opens all ports to that PC.
