There is a large amount of people not able to get on servers currently (myself included)
Ive taken to just starting a server (create game in menu, select lan so you dont bombard your internet with large outgoing bandwidth consumption) and playing with the stickied cheats in this forum.
From what im hearing general gameplay is sketchy at best currently anyways :)

What people should do as suggested before put in how many max players you can have and whether your sever is dedicated or listen server in its title

I am following these instructions but I dont have a server.xml file.....

You say you downloaded NS2 onto your dedi server, but did you also have to install it?

sorry, just click the server.exe once and it should create a file
