Srcds-Srvr2008-Wan/Lan Conflict
#1
Good Afternoon,
I have used this website, and these forums quite a bit for research, but now I have a question that I cannot search answers for. I'm not quite sure if its srcds or server 2008, but I'm hoping someone can help me.
I run a box, we'll call BlackBox, with server 2008. This box has 2 NIC interfaces. One for the public WAN, and one for my Private LAN.
I also have an installation of srcds for a tf2 server. When I run the tf2 server, specifying the WAN IP, and Hostport of 27015, it all works fine and dandy. Everybody can connect to it. The problem is that everybody on the WAN side will time out, if any machines on the lan side connect to the tf2 server. Then the lan is only allowed on.
I've quit the server, and restarted it, and it takes a couple minutes before WAN connections can be made to the tf2 server, but once again, if I connect from the lan side, it will time out the wan clients.
Oh, and when I connect from the lan side, I use the server's Wan IP to connect.
This machine doesn't have the cfg's, so I can get them if you need them.
I've tried both sv_lan 0 and sv_lan 1, doesn't make a difference.
Thats all I can think of. Thank you for your time and attention, and I hastely await a response. I need my fix man, this is tf2 we're talking about.

Give you give us your public and private IP?
Also give up your start up line.

I'm not 100% sure, but I'm hoping this will help us out.

Yeah.

The lan is the 192.168.0.x range, with the server being 192.168.0.1
The wan is the 150.156.216.117.

You wont be able to connect, this is within a college campus, and those who are not on the 150.156 range cannot connect.
my startup is
srcds.exe -console -game tf +ip 150.156.216.117 -hostport 27015 +maxplayers 32 +map ctf_2fort

have you tried launching without an ip command?

Run an ipconifg on the server. If the server is on a /24 subnet (255.255.255.0), 192.168.0.1 should be the gateway...

[BlackBox]
Nic1 = Wan = DHCP
Nic2 = Lan = Static = 192.168.0.1
Blackbox is the DHCP/DNS/Gateway using Internet Connection Sharing. Therefore the gateway is 192.168.0.1 on the LAN network.

Now I tried something interesting.
I ran the Srcds to us the LAN IP, and tried to setup port forwarding in Server 2008's firewall. But the same thing happened, WAN can connect, until the LAN people connect, then the WAN People time out.
