Whats your "hyperlink" in srcds on destkop?

[Maiki]

Well im trying to beg my dad to open port 20715 or W.E. Now my question do i have to do someting else besides just change the "hyperlink" on destkop? Thanks in advance

what do you mean is there anything else? you have to open the ports in the router, and in your firewall. then you will have to set up a way to start the server, either just by a shortcut, or with a bat file, or just something like server checker, which is the best thing.


server checker= http://www.dumbclan.co.uk/downloads/serverchecker/index.html

Well my dad told me the port is open or someting? Wat now? When i tried srver checker it says "ok" then "stop" and so on .

alright, well you have serverchecker? have you downloaded the stand alone srcds? server checker is just to launch srcds and restart it in the event of a crash.

I don't think i downloaded "stand alone" or W.E. But how can i see my ports are open or not if i cannot have acces to my router

lol, well if you don't even have the server downloaded then you shouldn't be worrying about ports quite yet. at the top of this page, click tutorials, and in there should be a tutorial on how to download a stand alone dedicated server.

so you downloaded the standalone srcds? can you start it and join it? cuz you should be able to join it on lan with the lan ip.. and then if the ports are forwarded right, then everything should work just fine and your done.

I Can join online But my mates can't

be sure your giving them the right ip address. go to http://www.whatsmyip.org and get that ip addres and give it to them and see if it works. if it doesn't work, then the ports aren't open on the router.
