It is normal for OldQueryPortNumber to be set after you run your server. Clearing it out simply lets the server rewrite the correct value based on the current game port. That value should be your gameport number plus 10, so for a default configuration it will be 7777 + 10 = 7787. So if it is set to 10 there is something wrong. What port have you configured the server to use (Port= under [url])?

It seems you've given a bad port number (0?) and that is why it shows as N/A. It should be noted that the OldQueryPortNumber does not have anything to do with the listing in the in-game browser. It only concerns the GameSpy query protocol. The ingame browser uses information collected on the native query protocol which runs on 7778 (gameport + 1).

There are other reasons why a server may appear as N/A, search these forums or INA for more info, but I'm guessing that your problem is a simple configuration mistake.
