I don't have the money to buy a host those popular servers have, i've tried to portfoward a million times on different ports with 192.168.0.1/2/5, my own IP, and it just won't work anymore. My buddy was able to connect before but now i can't even gain access to my own server! I've listened to the LU server tutorial... and that didnt work. If i can't get this fixed, GTA3CNR is screwed and it'll never be released.
Ignore this issue is fixed for now.
