console gets alot of errors from Darkrp file (yes its updated for this github) but server shows on lan so im guessing darkrp not messing with it.

connection fails after 4 retries for me and friends connecting using console: connect xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxxxx

tried IP given by console after "Connection to Steam Servers successful." ("public IP is xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.") and tried one that shows on LAN for me on both normal and legacy browsers (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxxxx)

btw yes im back and i seem to got further than last time xD

still checking back every once and a while, nothing new?

I wish I could help, but I have the same problem. It's such an annoying problem, and even worse when everyone on these forums just ignores each other. This forum is dead. Good luck solving it, please message me if you find a way around it.

[SystemsOverload]

ok, will do, checking now

[koz]

If you can't host even after you enable DMZ you're kind of screwed. You might need to go out and pick up a good router if that's the case. I had that problem with one of my old routers, it was a cheap $20 one I got from a staples. My new one is a nice $120 router that allows up to a 1 gbit connection and I'm able to host plenty with my 20mbit upload.

Just for a quick check, usually when you enable DMZ you have to specify the computer you're enabling it for. The past routers I've been through always ask me for the IPv4 address of the computer, for example; 192.168.0.1 = Computer 1, 192.168.0.2 = Computer 2

If you want to find out your IPv4 address then open your command prompt and type in "ipconfig", without the quotes.

Sorry for the inactivity though, I don't tend to get on this forum much anymore. The owners haven't been on since August.

np, didnt wait long in my eyes

anyways, its the standard BT home hub 3 shait, the stuff they give for free and dont care if they get it back -.-'

Hi there, SystemsOverload!

It seems like you have totally messed up your ports. You only need 1 port and that is: 27015 TCP and UDP for 1 server.
From 27015 To 27015 on IPv4 192.168.1.17
I got several Counter-Strike Source server, so I have opened 27015 to 27020, as shown in the blue square in the picture here:
Name-----------------Activated--Status--Protocol-From--To----Redrafting---IPv4 Address


So simpel is it. And the IP is just my IPv4 from CMD>ipconfig>IPv4 Address
