Check the server list from the master server. If you can't see it, open the console.
If you see something in the console log with your IP, but it tries to ping 3 times and gives up - that means it's registering, but connectivity to it isn't setup correctly.
If the port listed with that IP address isn't 2800x (whatever you set it up in your config file) and is some random high number port - you need to check if you've got your port forwarding setup correctly, and that it isn't just randomising the port for you.
If your IP isn't mentioned in the list at all, or the console log - check to see if heartbeats are enabled.

If I start my server, leave it, then press "find game" it does show up in the server list. But I can't see it on a different computer. Also, how do you open the console?

Should be Ctrl+Tilde (the key left of "1", below "Esc", above "Tab").[...] Also, how do you open the console?

Yes. Maybe check through this old thread and double check to make sure you've got it setup correctly?
If you could get a few Aussies to chip in, a cheep Linux vps, would be much better than hosting your server at home, 6 bucks a month, not to expensive...

I'll PM the forum admins about this on Tribes.anz, maybe they will consider it.
I'm sure that if we did get the numbers, people would be happy to chip in, but we need numbers first
Thanks anyway
Was just looking at the vps server location, Perth, is long distance from Sydney, and the rest of the most populated areas.
Hard to be-leave there’s just a two lane road stretching over 1500 miles connecting Perth, to the rest of Australia. This was how it was in the USA before 1956. Your country needs to build some interstate highways. Driving that road with large trucks pulling three trailers, must be a lot of fun..

That is also another thing I was going to mention, but I didn't want to be rude, because I don't expect you (or anyone else) to have good knowledge of Australia's geography. Same deal applies for me with America
Anyway, yeah, a server would probabaly have to be in either Sydney or Melbourne.

I tried to register two different times in the Tribes.anz, forum, never got a confirmation email, guess they blocked us Americans.

After researching, The main cable to Singapore, from Australia, comes from Perth, so it looks like a good location to reach Asia, Europe.
There’s a second cable coming out near the northern tip of Australia, heading out across the sea near Port Moresby. http://connected-continent.appspot.com/media/ConnectedContinent.pdf
They are going to link Australia to the US, in 2013, with fibre-optic, your connection speeds will be super fast soon, if all goes well...

Make sure you have a Static IP and not a dynamic IP. That will cause tons of problems.
Use this program, it's like 2 or 3 clicks and you can change between the two.

Yeah, unfortunately this was cancelled.
Maybe Perth would be a good idea, but it would be like having a server in Washington despite90% of players living in Los Angeles. Idk... I'll ask around.
Also, Jord, will try that later today.
