TF2 Server won't allow others to connect

[crymax]

I'm at the end of my rope. I have a Netgear WGR614v4 and I'm trying to host a server. My server.cfg is as follows:

sv_minrate 0 //Min bandwidth rate allowed on server, 0 == unlimited

sv_minupdaterate 30 //Minimum updates per second that the server will allow

I've set a static IP address and checked off "Use Static IP Address" from the gateway. Ports 27000 - 27050 and 3478 - 4380 are forwarded using TCP, as instructed by portforward.com. Whenever other people try to connect using my external IP or joining me when I'm connected to the server, they get a "server in not responding" error each time. The server only appears on my LAN and only I can connect. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Well you'll need to forward both TCP and UDP packets not just TCP alone.

Whats the command line your using to run the server? Do you have any firewalls enable such as Norton / AVG / Windows firewalls or anything like that running?

Command line:

Quote:C:\tf2\orangebox\srcds.exe -console -game tf -port 27015 +map KOTH_nucleus +exec mapcycle.txt +exec maplist.txt +exec motd.txt +exec modt_text.txt +maxplayers 24 +exec server.cfg

Right now, there is no listenserver.cfg. Is it neccesary? Region is sv_region 255.

I made sure to disable Windows Firewall before running the server.

The ports need to be TCP and UDP? Do these look right?





Also, do any commands need to be added to the TF2 set launch options? Sorry for so many questions.
