Reply to 1. It will not appear in the master server list unless the correct ports are forwarded and if you have not run announce.exe. (announce should run automatically but if it doesn't then start it manually)
Reply to 2. Your friend cannot find your server. The reason is that your server has not yet been made public. The ping number for non existent servers is 9999.

In order to forward the necessary ports, you must type your ip into your browser.
(If you do not know your ip visit:
www.whatsmyip.org)
Then login to your router and forward ports 5192 and 5315 it will ask you whether you want to forward TCP or UDP so do both. If you have any queries please feel free to add me on MSN.
