UT3 Offline LAN Dedicated Server not showing in Client Server Browser

[inferKNOX]

This issue has eaten the greater part of my day & I wanted to ask if you guys can help me out with this. I'm trying to set this up for LAN parties at which we'll have no internet.
I've looked at pages such as: http://wiki.unrealadmin.org/FAQ:UT3 , http://www.dcsautomatisering.nl/Unreal/UT3Server.aspx & http://forums.epicgames.com/threads/...D-troubleshoot & the server come up fine, however, despite running fine, it's just not showing up in the client server list.

The procedure I took was:

• Install the dedicated server (on my laptop);
• Install all bonus packs & latest patch 5 (2.1);
• Install WebAdmin into UT3 server;
• Made a .bat file to run the server;
• Run STUN server;
• Disconnect from internet;
• Run server from .bat file.

It runs fine, and I can even connect to it via the console using "open IPADDRESS" on the client side (my desktop, which also having all the same updates & bonus packs), however it just won't show in the server browser.

I've also tried running the game on the client computer, going to multiplayer, then setting up a dedicated server & running it. I then run a second instance on that same client computer and check the server browser, nothing.

Please guys, this has been driving me crazy & google must even be getting tired or my searches on it...

REMEMBER: Everything is offline.

What's your start up .bat?

Iirc, UT3's server browser still needs Gamespy, regardless of bIsLanMatch being true or false.

Stupid...I know.

LOL, after the whole day of suffering, I finally found the issue right after posting here. It was that I was putting the GameSpy login & password into the server call. Turns out it in fact doesn't need Gamespy...
Figured it out after reading here: http://forum.i3d.net/unreal-tourname...ver-issue.html
Just to shed more light for those that may need the info, my server system is Win7 SP1 x86 & the client system is Win7 SP1 x64.
This was my .bat file:

Start UT3.exe Server DM-Deck?Game=UTGame.UTDeathmatch?GameMode=0?Mutator=UTGame.UTMutator_WeaponReplacement?Numplay=10?MaxPlayers=32?NumPublicConnections=32?NumPrivateConnections=1?MinNetPlayers=1?TimeLimit=35?GoalScore=20?BotSkill=4?bIsDedicated=true?bIsLanMatch=True?bUsesStats=false?ForceRespawn=0?bShouldAdvertise=true?PureServer=1?bAllowJoinInProgress=true?AdminName=XXXXX?AdminPassword=XXXXX? -serverip=192.168.X.X -port=7777 -lanplay -log=myserver.log -Login=XXXX -Password=XXXX -unattended
copy myserver.log myserverlog.bak

Now it is:

Start UT3.exe  Server DM-Deck?Game=UTGame.UTDeathmatch?GameMode=0?Mutator=UTGame.UTMutator_WeaponReplacement?Numplay=10?MaxPlayers=32?NumPublicConnections=32?NumPrivateConnections=1?MinNetPlayers=1?TimeLimit=10?GoalScore=20?BotSkill=3?bIsDedicated=true?bIsLanMatch=True?bUsesStats=false?ForceRespawn=0?bShouldAdvertise=true?PureServer=1?bAllowJoinInProgress=true?AdminName=XXXXX?AdminPassword=XXXXX? -lanplay -log=myserver.log -unattended
copy myserver.log myserverlog.bak

So I just removed the "-Login=" & "-Password=", then finally it showed up in the server browser (the other stuff I removed since it's unnecessary 'cause I already put it in the config files). So obvious now that I think about it...
After starting the server, I just change it as desired via webadmin.
Phew, what a day torment!
Thanks anyway for responding, ktr.
