hlsw + mani admin = no rcon???

[c2um3]

ok i downloaded hlsw so i can admin server.. from other location... but if u have mani admin plugin installed doesn't it disable the rcon password??? i have tried login into rcon of m server and i couldn't get in... is there somewhere i need 2 tell it that i use mani??? i have searched there site for info on the application and even tried to open the readme link under the help tab but it only took me to the site to download.... any help would be great

mani and rcon can be used simultaneously.

if you can use rcon in game, then the rcon should work through hlsw.

is server on your lan? if you type status in game in console, what ip address is shown?

yea i have this problem too with hlsw.. although i know i can connect via rcon, i can connect with hlsw on the same machine as the server is ran, but its kinda pointless, and i can view the server on another computer.. it just won't connect. my server is not a lan server, it has been up for a long while. its just since i last reformated the hd of the server comp though. the server and everything works just fine, i just can't connect with hlsw from another location, and also.. don't know if its related or not, but the server doesn't show up in the lan area, like it should. i have to add the lan ip to the favorites section.. anyways.. help on this would be awesome.

-edit-
i also have mani.. it workd before though.

With HLSW make sure you do this:

If you are connecting OVER the internet (like from work > home or school > home) then use your REAL IP and get the log VIA the internet button.

If you are connecting OVER a Local Network (Like from upstairs to down) then you place the server in the LAN list and get the log VIA the lan button.

i know this.. and like i said.. it has workd before.. just since i formated and reinstalled everything. its just weird, it works on the same computer, but from a different computer over lan.. it doesn't work, i haven't tried a different computer outside of my router yet. so hmm.. any more ideas?

[c2um3]

wierd is right it banned my ip cause i couldn't log in.. it keeps tellin me bad password....

[skeletor]

well then are you sure you have the right password? cuz me it says an error.. like i posted in another post..

and yea.. hopefully i can get it to work soon, cuz im going to move the computer to another location with a 100mb port, and it would be nice to be able to admin it like that remotely.

sooo anyone have any ideas.. please?!

[DarkZealot89]

Make sure you have these cvars...

Code:

//RCON Controlers
sv_rcon_minfailuretime 30
sv_rcon_banpenalty 60 // Ban time in minutes for bad password
sv_rcon_minfailures 3
sv_rcon_maxfailures 5
rcon_password "***PASSWORDHERE***"

all that is set for me =)... hmmm... i really wish i knew why this was happening.. seems as his and my problems are different though..

[DarkZealot89]

Dunno, you guys got me beat then. I will try to see if I can find anything else regarding rcon.

[skeletor]

that sux.. someone?! i know theres gotta be some master-mind runnin around this forum that knows everything.. and just doesn't wanna hit the post reply button...

i guess we can all hope lol.

if nuttin else though i can just remote desktop the computer after i move it, but still.. HLSW would be A LOT easier. hmm... the whole my server not showing up on the lan folder is very odd as well.. but that won't matter as soon as i move the computer, but i wonder if these problems have any relation?

[DarkZealot89]

What ports does HLSW use? I never need to open any so I never tried to look them up. Now I will and if I find em I will post back here.

[c2um3]

i got it fixed!!!! i was having prob's with the password being in caps and i didn't even think of that... so there we have it once agian my stupidity has cause me prob's anyway it works and the proggie is pretty cool.. thanks for the attempted help

[c2um3]

default it uses 7130 but if u wanna open the whole port range it can very between 7130 and 7139

[skeletor]

thats cool you got it fixed.. mine still doesn't.. and the ports wouldn't matter.. cuz its lan, right now anyways. and even still i tried to dmz the whole computer, still nothing, and it is open in the firwall as well on the computer.. soo yea.. hmm.. i dont know.. im soo lost


-edit-
well i guess i lied.. found out that it is the firewall in xp sp2... and i tried opening the ports, and it still blocks it. the only way it will connect is if i disable it, which doesn't make sense? cuz it workd before i formated the hard drive, and i have everything the same installd. i don't know.. i do know that i don't want to put down the firewall though. so if anyone has any other ideas.. that would be great.
