Beware of your ISP when trying to use TAS !
I spent 100 on getting a static IP and 600 on buying components and then building a server.
However it turns out that I can't use TAS as my ISP intercepts and forwards all outgoing requests from my server in a 'cache server'.
Therefore from the LSN Servers point of view, all my requests are coming from my ISP's 'cache server' and not my own. So the LSN Server rejects my request as having an invalid IP.
I can't see a way around this whilst keeping my current infrastructure.
So it looks like I won't be able to set up my tournaments...
It's a pity as I thought I had some good ideas such as a small band of Marines fighting off a larger Spawn force and the resut being averaged over 2 games with one as each side.
And a knockout tournament where you had your race randomly assigned.
And having different tournaments where you could only play Marines / Machina or Marines / Spawn / Machina which would represent the different ages of the game.
/Sniff
(although don't feel sorry for me about the cash as I'm sure I'll find another use for the static IP / server )
