tf2.bat Problem

[CupcakeEpic]

When i run tf.bat to start my server, it loads up everything, but then it stops on "tf_server_identity_account_id not set; not logging into registered account"

i donno if it means something, but when i go on tf2 lobby, and type my server name and map, the server won't show up! when i add my server to favorites, it still won't show up! when i type in console "connect (my server ip) it says "Connection failed after 4 retries"

PLZ HELP! D:

That error has nothing to do with not being able to connect to the server. That error is saying that your server has not logged into a game server account and therefore will not be applicable for the quickplay feature. The problem is most likely that you didn't forward your ports, or you have sv_lan set to 1. Could you please post your server CFG and startup line and any other errors that show up?
