Your router is getting funky, when it does that there still are some errors in the router setup, triple check the settings

port forwarding has nothing to do with steam list. even if you do not forward your ports, people can still see it, just not connect to it.
You can see your server because it is your server, seems like your server isnt connecting to steam network.
Famously, if you have peer guardian running this will block all attempts to connect to steam/limelight networks.
Try disabling it if you have it.

Also make sure you have set your region in the server.cfg (eg... australia is region 5)
This will make it so yourt server shows in your regions master list.

you wrote alot and i cbf reading it so in just gonna ask r u behind a router? if so you need to open the forwarding ports if your not then you just need the port 27015 open. what is in your target line in your shortcut? mine is C:\Srcds\srcds.exe -console -game cstrike -tickrate 100 -ip 192.168.1.41 -port 27018 -maxplayers 8 +map bhop_snowwhite, yours should look similar all you need to do is to put your information in the way mine looks

ive had many people search for my server and they didnt see it in the master server list and yet i still had random people join so dont worry to much if ur makes can see the server as long as the can connect with the ip.

If there is anything i can help you with my steam name is Tashiiee.
if you need proof that i know what im talking about then check out my server 150.101.163.203:27018 it is fully operational with mani admin eventscripts es_tools noblock and more, so feel free to ask anything, i will most likely be able to help. =)

Start>Run. Type in "CMD" and hit enter. A black DOS prompt will come up. Type IPCONFIG and hit enter again IN THAT BLACK BOX! It'll show you what you need to know.

If it's any concelation, I got the same problem...

lol nope:
C:\Documents and Settings\Graham>IPCONFIG
'IPCONFIG' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

i said that lol but ty for Commenting and trying to help

make a .bat file

something like this :
=======================
@echo off
set path = c:\windows\sytem32\
ipconfig /all
pause
=======================

the pause command will pause the batch file and you will be promted to press any key to continue when you do the window will close.

hope this helps ;0)

awsome. did it work?

[ikillyou]

nope it is saying that it is connected but it is not working the counsole is saying:
Code:

Connection to Steam servers successful.
Adding master server 69.28.151.162:27011
Adding master server 207.173.177.11:27011

That's how a server suppose to be when its on the master list
But my server is like this:



Code:

Connection to Steam servers successful.
VAC secure mode is activated.

any ideas?
i forwaded all the ports and everything and now no one can join it exept people on my lan
i do have it on internet mode but it is still not working
