Not listed in Steam master list.

[Stealth]

Nothing to do with opening ports; direct connection to the net.
SV_LAN is set to 0
SV_REGION is set to 3
"Connection to Steam servers successful." in console and adds 2 steam master ip's

Still no servers being listed in the master list.


Any ideas?

if ur behind a router.. you probly won't see it on master server list.. are you behind a router??

As i said, i have a direct connection from a datacentre, its nothing to do with routers.

then.. i don't really know.. can people connect to it? can you connect to it? cuz if people can connect to it.. and everything.. then i don't know. i wouldn't worry about it... but other then that.. i don't know.

Well, the customer doesnt like not being listed in steam.
Also found out that NTL is blocking one of my ip's.

And you have a habit of saying "i dont know"

[skeletor]

wow... i guess i do. lol.

valve/steam says that most of the time it's a client side issue. and I would have to agree with them on that. I've been to various internet cafes and looked for my server in the server list, and not find any local servers, and then go to another cafe and see my server show up. and this is without doing anything to the server in between.

Im guessing by saying is a client side issue they are avoiding having to look at it in detail :-/

[inc0gs]

well some of the possible problems include client side ports blocked or improper steam rate settings.

Code:

Also try adding your external IP address in the Server launch properties (-IP <your external IP address>).

i always thought you weren't supposed to add ur external ip =/

and when i try that.. the server won't start.. my server works otherwise so im not really worries about it.. but was just wondering.


-note-
thats from the second link you posted....

You can only bind an external ip address if you are directly connected to the internet, otherwise windows thinks you are on a lan. By forcing a local ip you force a LAN server behind a router for example.

I will have a look at those pages inc0gs, thanks
