Are you sure you have the tracker setup correctly?

1) On the first screen (Network Selection), make sure you have it set to use winbolo.net

2) Select Internet (Tracker Search), then OK

3) On the tracker game finder screen, select tracker set up.

it should use tracker.winbolo.com
port: 50000
and select the box to use tracker

now you should be able to host a game and have it seen

Also, are you behind a firewall?

Hello Lynk,

I saw your hosted game on the active games page, or at least I'm assuming it's yours since you are the only one in in and I get an error when I try and join. (the game was at va-staff-u2-c3b-57.frbgva.adelphia.net:27500). So it looks like you can host fine, but it looks like no one can join it maybe due to firewall. Check your firewall and be sure and open up port 27500 for both TCP and UDP. Can't answer much else without knowing more about your setup.
