Not sure about the invalid packet issue, but as for getting it so that your game is the only one to show up... for that you will need your own master server, by default you are using garage games master server.

You would think that something like that would come with the engine since it is designed primarily to run FPS style games but... *sigh* It's kind of like the issue where you cannot do uv-scaling on terrain textures so at best you end up with 6 foot long blades of grass... no idea what they were thinking there either.

Anyhow, there are several implementations of basic master servers floating around the boards such as: www.garagegames.com/index.php?sec=mg&mod=resource&page=view&qid=5962 They all seem to be somewhat old so I am not sure if they are still working out of the box, but if nothing else maybe something like this will point you in the correct direction.
