Internal and External IP?
#1
Question 
I have been trying to do this for a couple of days now. I have looked through these forums for a solution, but have had no success. I have installed Armpits dedicated server on my laptop (Vista), which is on the same network as my desktop (X P Home), the PC that will run the game. The server works fine and I can connect to it from my desktop. I was merrily playing away for four hours when I realized that nobody had joined. So I checked all of the settings on the server when I noticed that the I.P. was 192.168.1.111:27015. I have been reading through these forums and have managed to forward the ports 27005, 27015 and 27025 on my modem (I don't have a router). My friend told me that he could see my server on the internet tab, but could not connect as it read "The server is not responding". I gave him my external I.P. but he got "The connection failed after 4 retries" or something along those lines. Also, I have tried both commands in the console "heartbeat" and "sv_lan 0" With no luck. Now he can't see my server at all. Anybody know how I can get my external I.P. to display in the server settings, and allow people to join? Any help would be deeply appreciated.

Thanks,

Alex (Chipstik)

1) something is wrong with your port forwarding. Either you have something set wrong, or your modem is broken

2) Make sure your external IP did not change.

1.

Here is a picture of my port forwarding (Attachment). The laptop is running the server and its Static IP is 192.168.1.111.

2. My external IP is dynamic, so it changes every time I switch on my modem. He did not add it to his favorites, he saw it in the internet tab, So this shouldn't matter, Right?

Alex

Edit: BTW, This server is for Gmod.

Is there a way to set the ports for TCP or UDP or Both?

Nope, Just all you see.

Its a ZyXel P-660R-D1.

Thats what was worrying me, there is no choice for that, and I have been on every page of the modem.

Maybe it forwards them both?
