Problem with RCON

[kdxrider9262]

Hey everyone,

I set up my source server and everything works except for the rcon.......when i try to log in i get an error that says unable to connect to remote server.......is there a special port for rcon?

if your running windows firewall you need to open up 27015 tcp in the server firewall. Or is it udp, i don't remember off hand, but either way they both need to be open, and just by allowing srcds.exe through doesn't open up both.

Well.......i am running a windows firewall and it is UDP that needs to be open however that did not help....so I just turned the firewall off and it still did not work any ideas?

try this on the client:
rcon_address <serveriphere>
rcon_password <passwordhere>

rcon say test


maybe it's not getting the ip right..

[kdxrider9262]

Yes, I've tried this too.......I use a DNS name to connect to the server so I figured maybe its not doing the rcon right so I did the rcon_adress with the direct IP and still no luck

I have the following ports forwarded on my router.......


TCP - 27030-27039

UDP - 1200, 27000-27015

you would need 27015 tcp forwarded as well...

indeed, the TCP 27015 is exactly the rcon port of the server
