I had the srcds server running at my grandmas house with a router...she has sbc yahoo...the server works just fine there but when i came home i realized my server ip was LAN ip and not internet...i didnt forward ports because i didnt at my grandmas i tried forwarding ports...but it shut down my router and never came back on...so i had to restart it...noww the router is up...my server still has my LAN ip and not my internet ip...how do i fix this?

1. Make sure you have a static Internal IP. To do this run command prompt and type "ipconfig /all". Then go into control panel -> Network Connections -> right click your internet file -> properties -> tcp/ip protocol right click properties. Put in your IP, Default Gateway, Subnet Mask & preferred DNS server. Hit enter make sure your internet still works.

2. Following this go onto http://www.portforward.com and click your router then your game... Then go into your router page by opening an internet page and typing an address (Mine is a belkin so its http://192.168.2.1) then go into virtual servers and open all the ports port forward tells you to do.
NB. Make sure you put your internal IP in after every single port you open. E.g. Open 27015 - 27020 on both connections with address of (In my case) 192.168.2.14. This is where you put in your internal IP.

3. Make sure in your server.cfg at the top you put you external IP in before you put in your name... To do this open your server.cfg in notepad and type at the very top +IP (external IP) for e.g. +IP 81.108.192.84. Load up your SRCDS and check if you can get on it through your LAN. NOTE!!! YOU CONNECT THROUGH LAN YOUR FRIENDS THROUGH YOUR WAN PLUS THE PORT E.G you connect through 192.168.2.1 your friends connect through 81.108.192.81:27015 make sure you give your friends that IP. Then ask one of your friends to connect, if they can't, *IMPORTANT* --> disable your firewall and try again. <-- *IMPORTANT* If that still doesn't work post on here

Just to clear this up:

When using a router you can NOT get the external IP on that PC! The router "owns" the external IP and therefor cannot be bound to the PC behind it or any other.

how do i find my internal address? just when i type ipconfig/all its says my i.p is 10.0.0.6
subnet is 250.0.0.0 and the one below that is 10.0.0.2 its so annoying!

[Drocona]

your IP is: 10.0.0.6
the subnet is 250.0.0.0
the standard gateway (the pc where the internet connection is, mostly a router): 10.0.0.2

thanks =]
but is that a normal i.p? everyone else has like 127.xx.xx.xx or what ever. i only have 10.0.0.6.. not many numbers.

[Drocona]

yes it's normal, most networks use 192.169.x.xxx, a lot of routers use 10.0.0.xxx and very few use... not sure what the other one was, maybe it's 127 or 172

Anyway, nothing is wrong just depends on the manufacturer
