MP DM problem with starting game

Trouble starting my MP DM games, I have one info player start and numerous DM player starts.

The game runs ok when im testing it, but when i bring it to the LAN to run on a dedicated server, the other players can see it, but when they try to play it, that are popped back out to the MP foyer (?)

On the server, I can see the players names preparing for deployment, and then they are dumped.

Any hints for me as to where to start looking for this problem?

Using breakthrough, mbuilder and radiant if thats any help

are you sure they have a copy of the map?

You need to look in the console of the connection games to see what goes wrong.

Doesn't the map download to their computer when they join the game?

no, they have to download a copy of the map and put it in their mohaa/main file, otherwhise their computer doesnt recognise the map. make sure you give them not only the .bsp/pk3 but the other components like .scr
