Problem with the ports.

[OVD]

Hello.

I have a problem with the ports on SRCDS. I have Vista incase that maybe the problem. I don't know. I've set up servers before and never had this kind of problem. It really baffles me.

So I've installed SRCDS, updated and downloaded what was required. Configured the server.cfg

Code:

Server.cfg

And use this

Code:

-console -game cstrike +map cs_office -port 27015 -maxplayers 20 -autoupdate

So I go to gametiger.com and put in my IP address //88.81.137.246//
And I get something like three servers, two aren't working and the one that does is like a completely random port.
88.81.137.246:27292

If you need anymore information, let me know.
But I'm really stuck and have no idea what to do next.[/code]

remove hostpost from your server.cfg
When you type status into the server, what port does it say it is running on?

[OVD]

I removed hostpost from the server.cfg.

When I type status into the server I get the following; udp/ip: 192.168.2.2:27015


LAN works perfectly. I can join through there. My ports are forwarded and I checked through canyouseeme.org just incase it was my router not forwarding them.
I only have one firewall installed, Windows Firewall which is disabled. My Firewall on the router is also disabled.

On my favourites the server appeared. But the message of 'Server is not responding.' where the player names would be.

I am having the same problem with a garrys mod server, I have hosted many servers before, and never had a problem. I updated the firmware on my DIR-655 and everything, still no luck. The command console even says server added successfully (im guessing thats the server list) Still after 7 hours of working on this, still no luck =/

After further investigation it seems that the ports are not forwarding, even when DMZ is enabled, would comcast be blocking these ports?

Do you mind dude? My problem has nothing to do with port forwarding and you're sorta detouring the subject of where I need help. Try unplugging your router for 20 seconds and then plug it back in, see if that works. Sometimes your router needs to be restarted aftering opening ports and stuff. If that doesn't work, it could be your router itself. But seriously, if thats not working for you can you please open another thread?

Remove the IP command too, you can't bind an IP to a computer that doe not own the IP.
Your external IP is owned by your router, only your router can use it.

And I'm gonna say it, it IS a router problem (or firewall/software), these random port issues always show up when the router is incorrectly configured or simply not doing its job.

I have had that problem with my D-Link to, I had to restart my router through the web-interface AFTER having the server up.. then it would actually show my external ip.

[girsnoopy]

I went out this evening and bought a new DIR-655 to see if it was the router. It must be a configuration problem because when I directly connected the server to the modem it showed up just fine. I have pics of what some of my current settings are, I have tried DMZ, disabling SPI, and opening 27000-27047.

Any more ideas?
