Srcds - It works but doesn't?

[Vuken]

Hey.
Just letting you guys know some of the server stuff incase it's needed.
OS: Vista
Router: Belkin
Firewall: Deactivated

Now I get everything running, I even get the following;

Adding master server -someipaddress-
Adding master server -differentipaddress-
Connection to steam servers successful.

(I would just show you if I could, but the ctrl + a doesn't seem to highlight anything and when I press 'alt' the option for tools doesn't show, and I don't know any other way to copy cmd. Sorry. If need be, I can provide a screenshot.)

Now I have in my router my ports forwarded
27015 TCP&UDP 27020 Set for my computer LAN IP 192.168.2.2

When I go to Steam -Servers - Favourite - Add a server
and enter 88.81.139.188:27015 it finds it, adds it not a problem.
I try entering it I get the message
Game Info -0.0.0.0:0
Game: (Theres nothing here)
Server: is not currently playing on any game server.

When I click on LAN. There it is there, I double click it, it loads me up and joins in not a problem. So I thought, maybe I have it set for LAN?
In the directory of;
F:\srcds\cstrike
I have the file server.cfg
In that file is this;

Code:

// Set the Host Name
hostname "F33r!"

// Set the rcon password
rcon_password "password"


// Exec files on startup
exec banned.cfg
exec listip.cfg

// Server Logging

// Set Rates

sv_minrate 4000

// Enable/Disable LAN mode
sv_lan 0

// Contact & Geo
sv_contact
sv_region 3

And I searched and it seems that I have 0 set correctly for Lan.
So I thought maybe it was cause it's on my computer. So I tried the website;
http://www.gametiger.net
And entered my ip address in 'Address' search
My server shows up, but it's on a different port "88.81.139.188:27161"

To start my server, I have the following pasted into my target(I have a shortcut on my desktop);

Code:

-console -game cstrike +port 27015 +maxplayers 16 +map de_dust

I tried having someone join but they say they recieve the message
'Server not responding.'

Any help guys?
Regards.

(PS; The server is still running.)

That looks fine inside your network you should connect to it via its internal ip if you are on the interwebz side of your network you should connect with an external ip.
from what info you have given it looks as if the server is running fine.

Hey, thanks for your quick response.

I can join through internal.
But no one can seem to join from external. With it saying 'Server is not responding.'

[trewq]

Is that still your current external IP?
Do you have 27015 UDP forwarded?

[Vuken]

Yes, it's my current external IP. And I do have the port forwarded.

PS;
Why does the port not stay at 27015? I have even tried;
-console -game cstrike +port 27015 +maxplayers 32 +map cs_assault

Bump!

[Vuken]

I thought I'd add a few screenshots to see if that may help at all.



What I don't understand is why it continues to use different ports than what it's set too. And it's very random everytime I close down and re-open the server.

I have the server up and running at the moment incase anyone wishes to see if they can join. I've had a few people try, they say the message saying 'Server is not responding' message appears.

Do you not need to forward those other ports? I have all those forwarded and i my vista server works fine and i have the firewall up.
Tcp-27030 - 27039, 27015
Udp-1200, 27000 - 27015

I did what you suggested, still no go.

Some routers need to be restarted for port forwarding to work. Give it a try!

[Vuken]

Nope, nothing.

Why is it that the server is choosing a random port than the one I'm giving it? I think that might be a problem.

-Edited-
I'm going to remove the server and reinstall it again, maybe I had done something wrong during the installation.
I'll let you guys know how it goes.
