Whats your startup line? are you behind a router with all ports forwarded?

[Biohazard]

wat do u mean startup line and ports forwarded sorry i am noob wen it comes to routers. i do have a router. and i have made dedicated servers were people joined but now they cant wit the srcds. can u help?

[cryotek]

your start up line, what are you using when you execute srcds.exe, like -game cstrike +ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx etc
if you're behind a router, you need certain ports to be forwarded to the box running the dedicated server in order for the srcds to communicate with the outside, ie. steam

[Biohazard]

well my startup line is this C:\HLServer\srcds.exe -console -game cstrike +map de_dust +maxplayers 6 -autoupdate . wat i noe is that i ran a dedicated on the steam gui and people connected so should it make a diff?

[cryotek]

ok, try adding +ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

replace all the xxx with your internal IP which is something like 192.168.0.1

[Biohazard]

ok i did that could u see if u can see it on ur computer the ip is 192.168.1.34 and its name is Biohazard's test server

[cryotek]

The outside cannot see you 192.168.1.34 thats a private ip under your router, people can only connect using your internal router, YOU on the other hand connect using your internal ip

[Biohazard]

so wat ip do i use?

[cryotek]

You need to use your intenal IP (192.168.1.34) to connect to your server, others must use your external IP you can find this out using http://www.whatismyip.com/

ok so here it is 65.11.93.252. do i put this in place of the +ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx thing or just give people that ip?

[cryotek]

your +ip should look like

Code:

+ip 192.168.1.34

to get people outside your network to connect they need 65.11.93.252
keep in mind, if the server is the same as the game client, you should change the port to say

Code:

-port 27020

and make sure you tell people your server is 65.11.93.252:27020
