Hi. I have a D-LINK DI-524 wireless g router. I have forwarded all the ports listed in the sticky to my INTERNAL IP (the one in the ipconfig). I have installed srcds and followed ALL instructions. my srcds console says the connection to steam servers is successful. Network: 192.168.0.107, mode MP, dedicated Yes, ports 27015 SV/ 27005 CL
i have the server config. My friend can not join my server. He adds the server ip to his favorites and it comes up as not responding.
i give them my ip as my internal ip:27015 and also my external ip:27015
C:\srcds\srcds.exe -console +ip 192.168.0.107 -port 27015 -game cstrike +maxplayers 12 +map de_dust2
that is my target line (i do not get that udp port error thing btw)
is there anything that i missed?
any help would be awesome.
thanks

alright, so your sure you gave him your external ip, like off of http://www.whatsmyip.org ... and you have forwarded the ports on your router?
There has been some known problems with d-link routers changing the port to something goofey, try settin the server up and runnin it for a while (like a half hour or soo) and then go to something like http://www.game-monitor.com and search for your servers external ip, without the port. and see if it shows up under an od port.

yes that is what i did. i left the server running for several hours and searched my external ip without ports (whatismyip.org) on gametiger and game-monitor. Game-monitor came up with nothing. Gametiger came up with 5 ips with different ports. It would be the same external ip but different ports. I would search again and it would sometimes come up with no results. If it did reappear then it would have different ports. Sometimes only 1 ip came up..sometimes 5. Never would the ports be 27015. I click on the ips and it says it is "down?" and it is a listen server.
On my old cs 1.6 server my port would change so i searched on gametiger and it came up with ONE ip with a strange port. I gave the ip with the port to my friend and it worked.
ahh please help..thanks

well.. the only fix I can remember hearing is either upgrading or downgrading the firmware. There was also some other settings someone changed, it was a bit different of a router, but you may try it?

Other then that though, its hard saying what exactly your router is doin.. just get a better router

ok well when this also happened to me, suddenly my server wasnt registered anymore, even with sv_lan on (read my first post to understand, this is no typo) I just gave up and threw my router in the dumpster!
I formatted my old 1,0GHz pc and set it up as a dedicated server running my whole network, now I run everything on it. Gameservers,webserver,ftp, mysql, everything. I put a 1Gb/s switch behind it and it controls the network at my house.
I wish I did this like 2 years ago, dedicated server machines just rock every router unlimited times!!

Yes that is a better way to control a network, its also a lot easier to secure the network as well. Also usually too you can set up a more stable dhcp server for your network then any router will be. You can use wireless, but you would have to get a switch, its totally different from a router, and in my opinoin a whole lot faster and solves a lot of traffic jams. You would then have to get a wireless access point to plug into the router, not another wireless router (as you would have to disable dhcp, and well everything that makes it a router). That would make your lan network a bit more stable. It takes some configuring though.

would i have to forward ports? also, would this be one of the things you are talking about? http://configure.us.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?c=us&cs=04&kc=6W300&l=en&oc=pct2216&s=bsd
if it is, can i host like counter-strike servers? ventrilo servers? on it?

Yes a switch like that should work just fine. Although a managed switch can be nicer, just because you can configure every aspect of it.
With that you would have to forward the ports still, or atleast open them. The computer acting as the gateway would also be like a network firewall, so you would have to open the ports in that. As far as routing and stuff, I'm not exactly sure. I haven't done that too much, but you would surly still be able to run all them servers.

yes, you would have to have the cable modem before the "gateway" computer.

for the ports opening,
if you run windows it automatically opens most ports on the PC since it is connected to the internet directly. I run a firewall which has only opened port 21 and 80 for my FTP and Webserver, the rest goes automatically (if it's outgoing or "requested" incoming)
while a router can f*xk things up real bad, servers are highly configurable AND the most important thing is that you can run stuff on it without port forwarding crap
