Hey guys, ive browsed thru most of the posts an i cant find a solution to my problem, but i see some of u are very helpful so we'll see if u can crack this one.
Im runnin a bt voyager 2000 router, my pc and a laptop are connected wirelessly to it and one pc is connected via a cable or sumthin. I want to start a dedicated CSS server, so i DMZ'd the router with my LAN ip (192.168.1.3) and started one up using the GUI, puttin in 27015 for the UDP port. It shows up on LAN in steam and HLSW, but doesnt show up on internet and people cant connect directly, even with the external ip i found at whatsmyip.org. The console says connection to steam servers successful, but nothing else. My wondows and norton firewalls are turned off on all computers. Is there something really silly im missing?? Plz help me!

post your ip here and we will test it.. cuz it probly won't show up with the external ip for you. either that or have the server on for like 10 minutes, and then go to http://www.game-monitor.com and see if it shows up there. and if you have norton on the computer runnin the server.. that could screw everything up.. i have heard a lot of horror storyes about norton

yes, i have tried opening the necessary ports, it didnt work either, but if it is going to work thers a higher chance of it workin on DMZ i wud think. K ill try turnin off evrythin to do with norton, i didnt kno u had to leave the server for so long b4 requestin it on gamemonitor. Wud it matter if i went on gamemonitor on the same computer? Wud it somehow not show up maybe? Oh, heres my external ip:
81.154.191.198
if i was someone else on a totally different computer, wat wud i put in for the port number? jus the UDP port number i entered into the GUI setup menu?
Thnx for the help so far guys

hmmm.. yea.. something is blocking the vac port.. and with disableing everything in norton.. that won't do, where noton screws with stuff.. you would have to completely uninstall it. atleast this is what i heard. and they had a pretty reasonable excuse to why it was soo. and it was from more then a couple people. but hmmm.. yea, thats a tough one actualy. could be a lot of things. its just norton stands out, one reason why i refuse to use it. i would rather run freeware zonealarm firewall, with avg antivirus(freeware as well). works pretty well for me.

Right guys ive had a breakthrough. Ive done it thru the console method and now it says added to master server "IP" twice with different IPs. I asume that means mine shud be showing up in the server list. It also says VAC secure mode activated. Lookin good, yea? Aha but wait, then it says:
SteamStartValidatingUserIDTicket: Returned ESteam Error 25
What the hell does that mean?
Ive tried lookin up my server on gamemoniotr an it aint showing up. How r u sposed to kno wat ur server is called? How do u change ur name?
Arent i being irksome today
Will i really have to uninstall norton? It does say VAC secure mode kablaber, is that not a gd sign? What do i do next? Lol.

hmm.. well for the name and everything you need to make a server.cfg file. and put it in cstrike/cfg.. for css use this site and even for other source servers its pretty relavant.. but hmmm... it should be connected, that other error i have no clue.. i would hold off on the norton thing for now.. unless you want too. lol
ill try to researcha lil later, but i don't know.

Well, again if i was a person outside my network, wat wud i type in to connect to my server? My external ip is 81.154.191.198. Wat wud i put as the port number? in other words, how do i find out if my server is visible? i think im runnin round in circles here....hmmm...
What does this mean in my console log: "...dedicated Yes, ports 27015 SV / 27005 CL"
Which one does a person use to connect to my server?
Help much appreciated so far, im slowly getting there!

to externaly connect to the server someone would use "externalip:27015". 27005 is just a port that the clients generally communicate through from what i understand, and i have never had to open that port open or anything. (i don't)
and as of now.. about 7:30 p.m. central time, your server doesn't show up for me.

Did U make sure ur server is not set to sv_lan 1 in ur server.cfg ? cuz if its set to 1 that means it lan only, no net and sv_lan 0, means lan and internet. Have you checked that? Because, if u DMz'd ur server, and still would not work, that would have to be the only thing holding it back. wait, sorry dude, im used to linux server.cfgs where U have to check that, i forgot theres a GUI on windows, but check that.
Dedicacted means that its there are no ghx, only command lines for the server to run, means its faster and better then running the game and a server in one. on the 27015 and 27005, when ppl first connect to ur server I think they connect on 27005, then when they are playing they are on 27015, U only need to open 27015 in some case's, but sometimes U need to open the otheres.
Heres the link everyone, if U want to make life easy on making ur server.cfg

dmz'ing your computer via your router settings also helps, but make sure you have a software firewall to cover the dmz'ed computer.
