Cannot connect remotly to RCON

[andrewgee]

Firstly, I appologise for being a bit of a newbie to this. I've set up a counter strike source server.

When I load up the command console, in the game and type rcon_password password and rcon, it shows me that rcon has connected up fine.

If I try to use an external program such as Kontrol, I just get a timeout error and it dies on me.

Any ideas on how I should start looking?

Furthermore, I have found that HLSW manager works.

But unfortunatly, the main reason that I want to set up rcon, is so that I can have an irc bot using an eggdrop tcl script (matchbot.tcl). With that script running though, I get an error of:

rconerror: Server not responding (timeout) 0

Any ideas?

There is an IRC plugin going around, maybe you should check that one out?

Does rcon work from within game? How do you have port forwarding setup? You need to forward tcp/27015 for rcon.
