well, first of all, who is the dick? the guy who tells you to do the obvious, or the guy that says fuck it and asks a question that could had been answered if he just made a small effort?
like in ur post sweet, i did 1 search, found 6 topics, one of which was a 1st grade breakdown of how to resolve ur issue, but you didnt search, you just posted, so if i am a dick for pointing out the obvious, cus i kinda have to, then so-be-it, im a dick, but i would rather be a dick that can use a gram of common sense rather than a really nice dumbfuck.
instead of getting ur panties in a big twist when someone tells you to search, try actually searching, then there would be no post, and no 'dicks' on it telling you to use the fking search feature, honestly if you cant figure out the search feature on the forums, then there is no hope in you figuring out how to run a server, sorry if we are all tired as fuk of answering the same common questions that have been answered 100000 times, sorry if we feel that reading the tuts and stickies would leave the forums clear for questions that havent been answered 100000 times or dont have tuts or stickies pertaining to the question
for real you guys, u think ur pissed becus i always tell you to search, how the fk u think i feel having to tell you to search all the damned time? it isnt hard is it? instead i get to sift thru countless ignorant questions to find anything relevant to things that havent been resolved, its fking frustrating as shit, you guys dont see it cus all you can do is make a post, but i have spent the better part of the last 5 years searching for what i need, reading stickies and tuts for what i am learning, i didnt have to make 10000 posts if you go look at all of my posts, i may have max 4 questions, all of which no one else could answer, no one had to tell me 10000 times to search no one even had to tell me 1 time, and guess what, i wasnt born with the ability to dev this game, so exactly how the hell do u think i learned? or for that matter any of the decent devs here? you wont find posts by them asking the same stupid questions over and over, how do u think they learned how to dev this game?
if it was rocket science, hey, i could understand, really i could, but everything you guys ask is literally in tuts, and stickies, and can be found by searching, i know, cus when i see a question, i actually search for it just to see if i can find it, and when i can (usually in the first 5 results) i come on ur post and tell you to search, same as i did.
so yeah, i would rather be a dick with some common sense then a lazy helpless moron, sue me. . . .
oh, and to the OP, make sure you have a static LAN IP setup in ur network connections, otherwise everytime u restart ur PC, you will get a new LAN IP fromt he DHCP server on ur router, and no one will be able to connect even if you do have it set up correctly.
