Help!!! Trying to get redirection to work on my server.

I believe that I followed all the steps on your tutorial correctly but when i try to connect to my server and download map i get the message:

COnnection failed
downloading package 'DM-Street-{BOOM}' failed: Server

on my client machine.

I have made compressed versions of all files and uploaded them via ftp to ftp://redirect.gameservers.net , which i got from this site.

I even checked on this site to make sure these maps were listed in the redirection map list. They all were.

I have placed compress versions of the maps in my c:\ut2004server\maps folder.

I checked the case on all the map names in the ini file map list. They match.

I made sure that the redirect url is listed properly in the ini file such as:

[IpDrv.HTTPDownload]
RedirectToURL=http://uz.unrealadmin.org/
ProxyServerHost=
ProxyServerPort=3128
UseCompression=True

i have also tried the above code with the proxy server lines ommitted.

Actually the redirect url was listed as :
http://www.unrealadmin.org/redirect/
and
http://uz.unrealadmin.org/ on ur tutorial.
Which one is it supposed to be??

I have also set allowdownload=false in the ini file to force the redirection.

I am running the server behind NAT on my home LAN, could this be the problem?

Do i need to open any ports on my router for this to work besides the ones already open for the server??

Please help Loosing Hair Fast!!!

I tried redirecting a different map and the error message i received was actually:

COnnection failed
downloading package 'DM-Street-{BOOM}' failed: Server refused to send


I guess since the name of this map was shorter than the first i tried to redirect more of the error message showed on the screen.

Does this error message mean anything to somebody?

Figured it out on my own.


The problen was my redirect url setting.

When i use the url in ur tutorial nothing worked.

I found a url for gameservers.net on one of the forums that did.
