Hello Incoming,

Here's a link I keep handy for reference in regards
to UT servers... I'm sure there are some better links
out there, but I find it useful:

Perhaps others will post some useful UT server links.

If I am not mistaken you have a dynamic IP. People will see your server in the CTF list but they will not be able to keep it in their favorites when the IP changes all the time. I imagine most people usually only hit the Favorites tab these days rather than load up the whole CTF list every time.

If a dynamic IP is giving you headaches check this out: http://support.dyndns.org/dyndns/

Otherwise your (max client rate * # of players) will give you how much bandwidth is needed to run the server. If you are on a cable connection your dreams of a 32 man server are not going to come true. Cable just can't handle that, you will problably have horrible pkt loss and ping spikes from hell. I would start by setting up a 8 man server and tweaking it. Play around and test values with your cable friends and find what value works the best. GL on your server bud.
