Dedicated behind router

[Waphlez]

So I have set up a dedicated server for garrysmod on a computer with static internal IP 192.168.200.15 and I have these ports portfowarded to that IP.

Port 1
Protocol: TCP
Global Port(s): 27015
Base Host Port: 27015

Port 2
Protocol: UDP
Global Port(s): 27015
Base Host Port: 27015

Port 3
Protocol: UDP
Global Port(s): 27020
Base Host Port: 27020

Port 4
Protocol: UDP
Global Port(s): 1200
Base Host Port: 1200

Port 5
Protocol: UDP
Global Port(s): 27000-27014
Base Host Port: 27000

Port 6
Protocol: UDP
Global Port(s): 27030-27039
Base Host Port: 27030

I can connect to the server on another computer in my network but only if I connect to the internal IP (192.168.200.15). With portforwarding I figure I (and my friends) should be able to connect over the internet using my external IP with the port 27015 so my server would be located at 74.215.6.236:27015. However, at least on my end I don't see a server.

I currently have my dedicated server started with the run parameter:

c:/srcds/orangebox/srcds.exe -console -game garrysmod -maxplayers 6 -autoupdate +map gm_flatgrass

just to test it and it works, but only in my network.

So then I try and change it so it uses my external IP

c:/srcds/orangebox/srcds.exe -console -game garrysmod -ip 74.215.6.236 -port 27015 -maxplayers 6 -autoupdate +map gm_flatgrass

but then I get the error "Could not allocate server IP port" and it doesn't start up.

Am I missing something here?

Code:

c:/srcds/orangebox/srcds.exe -console -game garrysmod -maxplayers 6 -autoupdate +map gm_flatgrass

Try that one.

1). First off, you wouldn't use your external ip in there.

2). It's not needed to tell the server to use port 27015 twice(it's standard)

Yeah like I said, I tried that but the server won't show up through steam and none of my friends can connect, only computers in my network can connect.

It's an issues with your port forwarding. I'm guessing that forwarding 27015 twice might be the issues.

Well my router doesn't have a "both" option for TCP and UDP, so I set them up separately. That shouldn't cause a problem should it?

Also I even setup that PC as the static NAT (DMZ) which should bypass any portforwarding problems but still no cigar.

Router brand and model?

Basically I'm just wondering if I did all the steps to get it working, or am I missing something?
