Server not responding, help.

[patch]

Hey guys i recently got SRCDS. I waited for everything to download and i followed the steps (exept adding restart server.batch) I started up the console and typed "status" got the ip and sent it to my friend. But, he can see the server but not connect. He gets 'server not responding.' But it looks fine to me. (Im using a bt home hub router *sigh* so i don't know if thats the problem.)

If you need any more information please ask, this is really annoying me.

P.S. I have also tryed to run it in GUI mode but still the same problem.

My server ip is '192.168.1.64:27016'

i know your exact problem.

'192.168.1.64:27016' is not the server ip. thats the internal ip and only YOU can connect to that. Clients have to connect through the external ip. you can find the external ip here:

im almost postive this is the fix, please let me know. =D

Once the IP is sorted out, port forwarding will likely be the next thing to do.

you sure??? cause i had this exactly problem and i was stumped now i know why it was happeneing. did you make sure to give the IP;port not just the ip. and also make sure you gave the right port. i think the port you are playing on may be diffrent from the one they are on. try 27015 or 27016. sorry if you have aleady tried this lol its just that your problem seems exactly like mine and just doeble checking you didnt forget somehting simple.

So i have to add the port to the end of 81.152.88.183? So.. 81.152.88.183:27016?

EDIT: I gave the 81.152.88.183:27015 ip out and people can find my server name but when they try to connect it says server not responding.

Sounds like all the necessary ports aren't open or software firewall is blocking access.

hmm trying booting your server up then go to
http://www.game-monitor.com/   and search for your server.  see what port it shows  on there and if you can even see it.  dont start the server then check right away, give game monitor a while to detect the server.

Yes, you have to use you internal IP(http://myip.dk/) (I thing is that one)

And you need to do portforward. (http://www.portforward.com)
