[Mani-aX]

i can connecto to my server but when searching via STEAM or http://www.gametiger.com i can not find my server. could be why i am not getting any traffic either???

65.172.157.93:27015

well honestly.. i haven't responded cuz im not exactly sure the server is up, i can see it in favorites, but in the internet tab, gametiger, or game-monitor don't show it up. i did a tracert to your ip, and theres some pretty high latency jumps on your isp side, for instance there was 4 hops gettin out of my isp, and each one was under 10ms then after another low lat. hop it jumps up and thers about 3 thats 30's and 40's and then 3 more thats 50's. so that could be it, but im not sure, i haven't heard of it doin that before. are you running a router? try dmz'ing the server for a day and see if it comes up on gametiger. also make sure you forwarded the ports in the computer firewall right and everything.

i only have the one port upd/tcp 27015 forwarded... any others i should know about?

[skeletor]

in the firewall that should be all you need.. its all i have ever forwarded. but in the router (if you have one) try to dmz it. so it will open all ports just to be sure.

also what operating system is the server running?

[Mani-aX]

xp pro.

[Mani-aX]

and yes i double checked my NIC connection's firewall. turned it off..

[Mani-aX]

enabled the dmz on the server. not showing yet, ill give it a few hours

[skeletor]

yea give it some time with that setup, but still i dont see it on the internet list.. although its runnin assault now, so its not to easy to pick out. but honestly.. im not sure..

[Mani-aX]

just in case this might add to the fire, here is my startup for my server...

start /wait srcds.exe -console -secure -port 27015 -game cstrike +map fy_payday +maxplayers 12 -autoupdate

[Mani-aX]

here is a screen shot after all loaded up

[skeletor]

alright.. a couple small things. take out -autoupdate and -secure, niether one of them do anything. and in the past -autoupdate on a windows box cause goofey things to happen. (it only works on linux) and vac is on be default. so no cmd line flag for it, just insecure to disable it. try them things.. very minor, but it just may be it? =\

waa waa, now im pouting!

i have tried everything still nothing... i don't know what it is. i guess i will have to start over from scratch and see if it shows up re-downloaded 100%

[Mani-aX]

ok, we are in business now!

Server Search

i upgraded my Router's Firmware lol.. they showed up 5 minutes afterward...

thanks for the help and sorry for the headache's...

ahh... that would make sense. although i didn't really think that would matter, but thats awesome it works.

what router do you have, just so i can try to keep this in mind if anyone has problems simular later in life.
