I've tried to get a dedicated server up and running for a while now, and while my friends can join it with no problems, I can't join ANY server (mine or any in the master list) while srcds is running; it just says something along the lines of "disconnected after 4 retries". I'm behind a router, but I forwarded all the necessary ports for the server (Not using the router isn't an option unless I shell out $40 for a switcher.) I tried changing the port that the server uses in both the shortcut target and the server.cfg, but it still didn't work. Here's my shortcut target line and my server.cfg for reference:
Anyone have any ideas as to why it's not letting me play while srcds is running?
