WTF? Login expired, use password?

[Trixor]

Hellow!

I have a small problem... No actually it's a big one!

Everytime i try to fire my server up, it just crashes into a ball of fire and dies!

./srcds_run -console -game cstrike +map de_dust +maxplayers 16 -autoupdate

Auto detecting CPU
Using default binary.
Auto-restarting the server on crash
Updating server using Steam.
Checking bootstrapper version ...
Updating Installation
Logging in as '*BIIIB*'
Login has expired, use password
Fri Dec 17 07:33:38 CET 2004: Steam Update failed, ignoring.
Fri Dec 17 07:33:39 CET 2004: Server restart in 10 seconds

And then it just goes into a spiral loop towards the ground!

Surely i updated the whole lot with this line

./steam -command update -game "Counter-Strike Source" -dir . -username *biiip* -password *biiip* -remember_password

BUT! When i would try to start the server, well.. You know...

Any ideas?

Add -steamuser *biip* -steampass *biip* to the server startup command

wow this thead helped me i was have the same problem and now i'm having a new problem this is what i did it stared up fine... after it updated this what happened

Code:

Console initialized.
Netword: IP 127.0.0.2, mode MP, dedicated Yes, ports 27015 SV / 27005 CL
Attempted to create unknown entity type event_queue_saveload_proxy!
Game .dll loadded for "Counter-Strike: Source"
Executing dedicated server config file
Adding master server 207.172.177.12:27011
Adding master server 69.28.151.178:27011

So here it looks like it is running but i go over to my other computer and try to join...

Code:

Dropped spaceman from server
Reason:  Invalid STEAM UserID Ticket

It's not though i can join all other servers just fine. so then i try to and a bot...

Code:

bot_add
Dropper Elmer from server
Reason:  Kicked by Console

My linux box is connected to a switch at is connected to my windows XP box that is connencted wirelessly to a router that is on the net. I know that is alot but that is the best i can do right now.

I have read through most of this forum looking for and answer but i can't seem to find on if any one can help me that would be great.

Check your switch router and any firewalls, any one of these may be bloking the port being opened.

my switch doesn't have any firewalls becz it has no software behind it and I opened port 27005 - 27030 on the router. I think that should be enough. right?

I don't think this means any thing but my router doesn't see my Linux box as an attached device becz it is connected throught my windows box wirelessly. I don't think it make a diffence becz my Linux box can get on the internet and all.

Is the there somthing i might do to my Linux box? I'm using Suse 9.1

I have been playing around with hl2mp dedicated server. If I dont specify the +ip command on the command line (when I launch the server), it starts my server with ip 0.0.9.96 (keep in mind this is LAN address assignment not WAN).

So what I did was go into my router (192.168.0.1) and forwarded the required port #'s to the address (0.0.9.96) that the srcds server assigned, and it works ok.

If I try to specify the actual (LAN) address of my linux box (192.168.0.101) to my server via the +ip command when I launch, I have trouble. (i.e. I can't even see the server listed as running on my lan).

I did notice that it took 10 minutes or so before I could see my server on the Internet list. (and this was only after I had connected to it thru the LAN list).

HOpe this helps someone

Moral of my story is, the ports can be forwarded/opened, but are they forwarded/opened to point to the right place?
