I have several problems while hosting a dedicated server.

- People can't download custom maps (the feature was on, but I tried it both ways just to make sure)

- Lag issues. It's not usually the ping, but players/bots will warp in 'lag spikes'

- The ports you connect to aren't the ones I forwarded.

I think the first two will fix themselves if the last one can be. I've forwarded the ports 6682 and 6692, yet when you connect to the server you go through the number 61468.

There is my network setep

It could be my router, I had been at a different connection with a different router, and I never had lag problems (never had the chance to see if a custom map could be sent either).

Any help would be appreciated.

what router do you have, and which version of the server are you using?
