A couple of Questions
#1
Hey all!

I want to start with the fact that I am new here at srcds.com and I did try to use the search buttons, but the results didn't help me that much.

I have a dedi downstairs, running Windows Server 2003, I have srcds up and running, and thanks to everyone who have made guides on theese forums cause they helped me alot. But still at this point I am stuck. You can try connecting yourself and you'll see the issue, about every minute, all the clients time out and the RCON connection doesn't work, I have forwarded port 1200 and 27000-27050.

A side question is, does anyone know any good web control panels for managing my game server? Free ones only please, at least for now.

Thanks in advance, ScaR

Did you add +ip <local ip> to the startupline for RCON?

For administration I suggest HLSW: http://www.hlsw.net/

Other things you can do using remote desktop.

Well, If I would like to sell servers? I was thinking more like CPanel, jsut one for free :p For Windows Server 2003, I've searched alot, but still can't find one. Oh and my startupline looks like: -console -game cstrike -tickrate 100 -ip 192.168.0.103 +sv_lan 0 -port 27015 -maxplayers 11 +map de_dust2 +mp_dynamicpricing 0 +fps_max 600

EDIT:
Unable to connect to remote server (88.89.14.251:27015)

That's what it says when I try to rcon

try +ip and +hostport instead of -port

When using RCon type "rcon_address 192.168.0.103" and then "rcon_password <urpass>" and "rcon say test"

Should work Smile

As for hosting, from the top of my head I don't know any free gamepanels, however reading your posts above, it seems like you want to do this from your home? If so, it's not going to work.

When you're using HLSW in LAN:

logaddress_add <ip of gateway: 192.168.1.1>:7130

Moved o to my linux dedi now, but still having the lag spikes or the server more like timing out. I also can't get it to port 27015. It instead makes 2 servers on 27018 and 27019, however the ports arent my biggest concern, the server timing out is. Any ideas?

Anyone who's got an idea? This is really bugging me off now, if it helps I am using a linksys wrt54g router, its on cabel connection. My ISP is Telenor here in Norway and I have googled it and no one else are having the same problems, my startup options are:
/srcds_run -console -game cstrike +sv_lan 0 +map de_dust2 +ip 192.168.0.103 +port 27015 +maxplayers 11 -autoupdate -tickrate 100 +fps_max 600 +hostport 27015

But when I start the server it says:
Network: IP 192.168.0.103, mode MP, dedicated Yes, ports 27019 SV / 27009 CL

As i said that is not my main concern, the server timing out every min is : /

Sorry for a messy post, but I am getting desperate...

Thanks in advance, ScaR

The timing out, is it you timing out or people who play on your server?

If it is you im not sure what that could be
But if it is the people who are playing on your server, your internet is not good enough, if you have ANY less than a 3 Mbit connection then you have no hope at all of running a server, 3Mbit is still poor but its possible in my oppinion.

As for the multiple ports im not sure what could be happening there, hopefully someone else can help you on it.

Oh well, thanks for the help, frankly I had no idea of what was going on, I will just have to wait for my new Internet. Currently on 1 mbit up :p

Still I thind it a bit strange that players who connect time out, as my friend runs a server with 1 mbit up, it doesn't time out but lags on round start. Well anyway, thanks again, for the help, I 'll have to wait for my 10mbit Smile

If u have less than 3 mbit is kind of harsh to say you have no chance running a server because it's very possible to do so. Just don't expect anything big in regards of player slots/quality.

1mbit should get you 14 players in a CSS game for example (33 tick!)

As for the timeouts, are you connected to the router with a cable? or is your router connected to the internet "cable" because the router you specified is wireless. If your server is connected wirelessly that's the problem with timeouts right there.

As for the port, try -port command and see what happens (remove the +hostport and +port).
If it switches to, liek in your example, 27019, it means 27015-27018 are all taken already.
