I have another question, I have looked through these forums; most of the people here are using offsite hosting, so I haven't been able to find a post that answers my question.
I am using this server to host a game for a very large office. the server is physically located in the building. Our building operates on internal (192.168.x.x) addresses, with varying subnets depending on branch numbers. Our office is a support office, and we have enough users to warrant 2 subnets for our building (192.168.99.x and 192.168.199.x). The server farm we have is located on the 99 subnet, and workstations are on 199. All of the traffic coming into the dedicated server comes from inside, since the firewall is restrictive enough to bring external ping's into the 800 range.
Anyway, I have been able to connect to the server using the developer console command (connect 192.168.99.90:27015) since the inception of the server. everyone else can find it by using the favorites tab in steam and typing in the address. Not my machine though. So, my questions are:
1) can you make the dedicated server broadcast games on other subnets?
and
2) ever since the game was reinstalled clean, I cannot connect to it at all from the counter strike client, any ideas?
thank you in advance
*edit*
The server hanging on "Executing dedicated server config file" has to do with the -autoupdate command being put in the command line. The server would not fully come up before, and that's why I couldn't connect to it. I put the -autoupdate command when starting, and it hangs on executing server config again. but, if I wait for about fifteen minutes, it will come up and be fully operational. but I am back where I started. I have now stripped all addons, and removed the custom server.cfg file. And now, even without that command, the server will hang.
