Couldn't Allocate Server UDP Port?

Okay, so ive been trying to do my own server. i have a alot of ports unblock in my firewall. i dont have router i have dsl internet. I have all the require ports open but even if i turn my firewall off, it still cant find it. any help?

I'd imagine something else is already bound to the same port that srcds uses. Are you already running a server? What is the commandline you are using?

Don't use +ip in your startup line.

C:\SRCDS\srcds.exe -console -game cstrike -tickrate 33 -ip 75.88.214.173 -maxplayers 16 +map de_dust2
no i am not already running another server

Like jackal said, remove -ip from the startupline or enter your INTERNAL IP Address there.

The server can not bind the EXTERNAL IP address cause it doesn't own it, the router/gateway owns that IP

tru dat

Its a common misconception that the server has to be the external ip. If you think about it though thats what port forwarding is though. It forwards ip:port 75.88.214.173:27015 to ip:port 192.168.2:27015 so if your server was ip 75.88.214.173 it wouldn't really work at all would it?

so how to get ppl to join it? would be to use master server ip?

no the IP that shows this websiteL http://www.whatismyip.com is for everyone outside your LAN
