CS:S Dedicated Server cannot connect

[cssfanxl]

hey guys, i just updated my cs source dedicated server via hldsupdatetool.
Everything's ok, server runs, but when i try to connect to the server via find servers, i cannot see it in LAN, i cannot connect to it via console (connect ___IP___), too. Can anyone help me? is it something that i did wrong or Valve is working on the servers or it stopped providing them??
Please help me...!

(When i open the server in the command line normally appears the following: Connection to Steam Servers sucessfull + Vac secure mode enabled

Are your server running on the same computer as your client? Also, can you please read this:



Thx

I'm sorry i was a little hurried. ok:

OS: Windows 7 Ultimate
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual core processor 3800+, 2.0GHz
RAM: 2GB
Games: Counter-Strike Source Dedicated Server.
Start up Command: C:\srcdsb\orangebox\srcds.exe -game cstrike -port 27015 -secure -autoupdate
Mods: I currently don't use any admin mod.

I run the server in the same PC where i run the client.
Local Ip Address + port: 192.168.1.3:27015
Remote Ip Address + port: 178.128.136.173:27015 (it changes so I have done Dynamic DNS, which is: hgsclan.selfip.com:27015)
I have done port forwarding to my local ip, i forwarded 27000-27020 UDP, 27020-27050 UDP, 27015 TCP/UDP and 1200 UDP. ( I note that before the new update of css the server was running smoothly )

the xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx being your external ip find that by pointing your favourite web browser to http://www.whatismyipaddress.com

you can then set the game port to whatever you require after the ip address :xxxx

so for example mine is currently set to + ip 88.216.197.44:27015

and providing you have your port forwarding set correctly or the server internal ip (typically 192.168.x.x) in the DMZ part of the router then everybody should be able to connect.

Blasted emotes ,

You mean that i have to add to the command line of the shortcut this: + ip remote.ip:port ???
I will try it. Thanks. But can I add my DynDNS in place of remote ip so i don't have to change it every time ip changes?

As i can see, you are behind a router on a 192.168.x.x network, thats the IP you will have to use, because thats the IP that your network interface are using. Your router will take care of routing the traffic out on the remote IP .

Your command is totally wrong. You have not specified the maxplayers or the map, use this commandline instead:

Code:

C:\srcdsb\orangebox\srcds.exe -console -game cstrike +map de_dust2 +maxplayers 16 +ip 192.168.1.3 -port 27015

Also:

• Your server will be secure by default, so you don't need -secure
• Autoupdate is only working (correctly) on linux, so you won't need that
  

I hope this clears things up for you

Well, i did what you said ( i only didn't used -console because i prefer the menu...) so now i can see the server in the Lan section of Find servers, but i cannot connect to it ( console says :
Connecting to 192.168.1.3:27015...
Retrying 192.168.1.3:27015...
Retrying 192.168.1.3:27015...
Retrying 192.168.1.3:27015...
Connection failed after 4 retries.). Any help?
[I have the latest steam counter-strike source client]

EDIT: finally i don't think it's the server's fault, as i cannot connect in any server... , i'll do a restart and maybe an update of steam, hope this will fix it...

Are you sure that the server starts correctly? Are you sure that you still have that local IP? I do not recommend that you play and host on the same machine, as it can make some complications - just right now - try "connect 127.0.0.1:27015"

Also, try start your server, and make sure that the ports are forwarded, then i will try to lookup your server on HLSW

Btw. have you tried to give the connection info to any of your friends?

Local ip is 192.168.1.3 i have defined it in the connection options and i've done ipconfig

i think that running client and server causes a vulnerabilty... when i have my server stopped i can play in any server from my client, but when i open server, i can't connect anywhere...( but before the update i could do it... :@)

Connecting to localhost didn't work...

i have told some friends to connect... they cannot...

I'll make the forwarding again if this makes anything.....


EDIT: Man thank you very much, server is working players can join . after the command line what was the prob... let me think... THE FIREWALL, JUST NEEDED AN EXCEPTION... how did i miss that... whatever THANKS VERY MUCH

ok. by the way, can I use rev now in order to allow the connection of nonsteam players with the same procedure?

[lol554]

I do not understand your question. Do you want to allow nonsteam users to access your server?
