Unable to connect to remote server

[Nethouse2000.gl]

Hey all

Just found out a couple of things :-(

1. Our game servers (centos) re coupled directly to our ISP backbone, no firewall for now.
2. CentOS install was with firewall disabled, no blocking of any ports.
3. My buddy is ALSO unable to connect with rcon...

Sorry about #3, I thought he had rcon access... :-(  
This changes of course the whole thread which I also joined, so now my very simple question has to be:
How do I enable RCON on my game servers (i have multible css servers planned og several machines)?

Everything else I have written is of course true. I have full access to the server, but have been unable to rcon to my css servers. I have been able to RCON my CS 1.6 servers btw on the same machine...

I must admit I´m new to CentOS, but I guess that goes without saying when reading my posts :-)
Thanks alot all!

Edit: Just read something about IPtables, could this be a problem without any kind of firewall enabled???

Silly question, but have you set up the rcon password? If not, add:

Code:

rcon_password "yourpasswordhere"

In server.cfg or autoexec.cfg.

Yes I have included the rcon_password, and I have tried to include rcon_address 127.0.0.1 and the ip number as well in server.cfg or autoexec.cfg :-(
I also tired the different commands I found in this forum, at the command promt when logged in at the server, but I guess I'm missing something at the server setup, or do I have to edit anything at the client side?
I'm planning to install mani admin mod later this week, but would be nice to find out why we cannot get rcon to work :-(
And also as I said, rcon works on cs 1.6 running on the same server :-(

if you're having trouble make sure your ip in your start line is the ip address in the internal network. so something like +ip 192.168.1.104 instead of the ip address assigned to your home. AND that your TCP ports have been opened correctly.

This got it working for me.

You can't change server variables on the client, you need rcon access.

try type rcon_address <iphere> in the server.cfg, then go ingame open up the console, type rcon_address <sameipasabovehere>, rcon_password <passwordhere>, rcon say test.

I think it's being blocked in that case cause I think we covered all problems that could arise from the server itself.

Everyone try forwarding either just 27015 or try forwarding multiple ports from 27015- 27035
I don't know if that helps or not... But I had the same problem did that and wala! Fixed.
