UDP

[Lites!]

Hi, when i try to launch a css server it says UDP cannot connect.

I am using a ZOOM ADSL X5 modem think its blocking it as i can only get it to show on the LAN :S

Please help!

whats the start line your using to start the server? it sounds like you are trying to specify the external ip in the start line, and you can not do that.

C:\hlserver\srcds.exe -console -game cstrike +ip 88.105.20.248 -port 27015 +maxplayers 20 +map de_dust2 -tickrate 66

yea see.. +ip in the start line should be the computers lan ip, but really you don't have to specify it. so just take that out, and it should work just fine

but what ip is the server on then?

[skeletor]

it will be on the computers lan ip. that is the only way it will work. this explains the difference between a lan ip, and an external ip and more http://forums.srcds.com/showthread.php?tid=1847

i can only get it to show as a lan server though :S

also when i make a dedi can it only run on LAN or can it be used a public server?

did you read all of that link i sent you? it tells you that no matter what, you will only be able to connect to it as a lan server. and it can very much so be a public server, my server right now is a public server, and i have to connect to it through lan. but everyone else in the world connects through the external ip.
