Can't connect to steam server

[Prodigy_player]

I'm fairly new to unbuntu and i have no idea how to resolve this issue. I was able to run my server in windows 7 just fine at 1000fps; however, because of the pingboost issue with windows, i have to start learning how to use unbuntu. Hopefully this and easy issue to fix.

System Specs:
Pentium 4 3.2ghz cpu
2gb ram

no mods

heya,

try adding your external ip of the machine to the startup command:
./hlds_run -console -game cstrike +map de_dust2 +port 1337 +maxplayers 16 -autoupdate -secure -pingboost 3 +ip ADDRESS

hope thats what you were lookin for

It's a permission thing ... change mod ( chmod 777 <dirs and files> )

here's the error i get by entering my +ip xxx.xxx.xxx to the command line:

My port 1337 is forwarded. I've also tried to change the permission by using this command:
sudo chmod 777

I also noticed that this directory didnt exist /home/john/srcd/./platform/SAVE.

Am I suppose to have that folder? Thanks for the input so far.

update, okay after playing around with my IP settings, i got it to work. I'm not added to the master list, but that's another story.

Turns out i had to use my internal ip address for it to work.

OK guys if all the other things didn't work. I found out a way to fix it: You will need to reset you router there should be a little hole on the back get a toothpick of something and poke it for about 10 secs and let go and it should work.
Here a video on how to reset it:
