SRCDS Problem

[Ben7670]

Hey all

Right, so i made a srcds server running on the computer i play on, and that works perfectly fine and people can connect. But as i knew making a server on the same computer was bad, i created a server on the spare computer in my house.

Now heres the problem. I have set up a static IP on the computer, opened all the required ports for it, yet i cannot get the server to work. If me or anybody else trys to join they get a, "connection failed after 4 tries," error.

Please help me, thanks

sure you opened the ports on the other computer not ur own????
Sounds like a port issue

If so udp AND tcp?

[Ben7670]

Yea, i have definitely opened the ports for the other computer, both TCP and udp

Did you disabled the firewall?
It can be the problem.

Yea, i have tried disabling the firewall as well, but it still doesn't work, so ill continue to host on the pc i play on as its working fine for me and players

Thanks for your help

The problem is being caused because of the fact you are running the server on the same computer you play on. Check my signature for the link, and please take a moment to read through it carefully.

Please post the local IP to the server and a picture of your portforwarding.

Ok, so heres the local ip to the server: 192.168.1.2 and the picture of my port forwarding.

wow i never go into that much detail when port forwarding. lol. nways definatly something blocking the connections.
Although u have a set number of ports for both computers??? try getting rid of the computer you play on in ur router.
Hang on, whats ur startup line?
Cause you only need ONE port for people to play. You have MANY open for it? Choose one port eg... 27020.
for tcp AND udp eg.... for 192.168.1.2 TCP 27020 UDP 27020. And get rid of the rest

Startup line reads eg.. srcds.exe -console -port 27020 -game cstrike +maxplayers 16 +exec server.cfg and/or whatever other commands u like

You have the same ports open to different IPs. That's impossible.
Remove the first 6 rules as a start...

OK, so Ive removed the first 6 ports, and players still cannot join, what shall i do now?

oh, and this is my startup line C:\SRCDS\SRCDS.exe -console -game cstrike -autoupdate +maxplayers 20 +map de_dust2

you can try a dmz, also a little off topic but you can take auto update out of the startup line it donest work in windows. also add the port in it -port 270XX

[L33t_Of_Lag]

agree, open up one port in ur router eg.... 27020 both tcp and udp. And enter -port 27020 in ur startup line.
