I would suspect that your friend is doing something wrong with the direct IP process.
Well we could also rule this out. He had no mis-spelling of my no-ip address as well as no typing error in my IP at that time.
He also had the the right port added, with the right syntax (:21000).
I asked him 3 times to make sure - and he was starting to get a little... let's say annoyed... :lol:
But an interesting fact you provided - if HL only does a redirect, why isn't the direct IP method working...
Guess I'll start a game and then pay him a visit, to actually watch what he's entering in the address field. :wink:

Why? He's the client, no need for him to open any ports. Or did I miss out on something? :???:
