Ports....

[killer18]

Ok so i portfarword a server before and successfully ran a srcds server on windows.... but i changed provider and got a differeant router.

i go into my 192.168.1.1 and portfawrd the ports i needed but for some reason when i host my server it shows up as

182.172.271.1:18928

my is a dynatic ip so it does change but the port never stays as 27015 i tryed setting it in the start up etc....
it shows up in my lan ip as

192.168.1.4:27015 but it got to be on the internet...

any ideas how? my router is a Huawei Echolife520s

You need to put your external internet IP in the startup command.

So find out your IP from here:
http://whatismyipaddress.com/

Then put the IP there in the srcds startup line with:

-ip 12.34.56.78

You get the idea.

Hmm... Could you copy and paste the exact error from command line here?

Don't use your external IP in your startup line!

You can only use your LAN IP! Try that, it should fix your problem

i have used my lan ip but it still does not show the right ports on the server list.
it shows a random port.....

expamle: 182.172.271.1:18928

and i think the ports used are right i did use portfarword website

That may be your query port.. I am not sure how to change that though

How many IPs do you have to your box? 1? 2+?

if you only have one u do not need the -ip xxx.xxx.x.xxx line, just -port xxxx

I am having the same issue with my server in the command line its set to use port 27015 but in game it will show 68.104.5.236:60001 I'm using dmz on my router

I fix the issue now what i did was start srcds before even starting up steam because steam uses 27015 as well so it will take that port and start using your local port used for css when you connet so try that as well kk

nope that did not work it still uses a crazy ass port I did not assign
