I cant play in my Dedicated Server , List in GameSpy perfect but when i click in JOIN GAME , the game dont Starts.

Other Players can Play in my server but I No. Why?

That's because it's a dedicated server. In most games you can't join your own server then, this has better server performance.

Aff... Well .... Thanks.

I'm not sure it really works like this since in JO/JA i could join my own dedicated servers, but I guess it is.

You can host a game from within the game, when you exit the game the server closes.

As long as the dedicated server is on another machine than the one you are playing on you should be able to join it. I have had my dedicated server up since the release and have no problem joining it.

But it is also hosted on a seperate machine from the one that what I start the game on.

If you have to play on the same machine as your dedicated server then you can alegis's idea.
