GMod Dedicated server not appearing on server list

[mrepic114]

So, to clear shit up, I'm NOT running from a .bat file. I'm running off the srcds.exe.

Alongside that, I can't connect via public IP.

"Connecting to 81.102.193.189....
Retrying 81.102.193.189....
] connect 81.102.193.189
Connecting to 81.102.193.189...
"

Until it fails. Yes, I have forwarded ports. And yeah, I'm new to the scene.

Still having issues? Hosting it at home? If yes, can you connect via the internal network ip address?

Try setting +clientport to something else on your garry's mod command line. (your actual game on steam)

For example, +clientport 27070
