Two questions. SRCDS problem/Running a server and playing on it.

[yugimt]

It seems that others can't join my server. They get an error message of connection retries 4 times. What can make my server accessible by people on the internet?

Here is my server.cfg

Here's my startup commands for SRCDS.

Quote:C:\srcds\orangebox\srcds.exe -console -game cstrike -maxplayers 24 +fps_max 200 +port 27015 +clientport 27006 +map de_dust2 -tickrate 66 -hostip my.external.ip.address

and my console.


I've fowarded the required ports neccessary.

Also, is it possible for me to play CS:S and run the server at the same time? I remember being able to do it a few years ago, and it was running fine. There has to be some solution.


Thank you for the help.

Well, I've actually got it resolved now.

I'm wondering if I can do what the 2nd question says. Is it possible? If so, could someone guide me and even use teamviewer to guide me on help?

[yugimt]

I've actually resolved my own issues, i'm now able to host my server and play on it on the same computer.
