Srcds RCON port?

[DevastatioN]

I am currently hosting my server through my own comp..
Well, the thing is, the manual rcon doesn't work.

I tried portforwarding the tdp and it's still not avail.

And, since "gameservers" that are hosted by real company, uses real "ip",
Does it clashes?

Because localhost ip (homp comp ip) is different than the real ip right?
Is there any way to configure the rcon so that the server (real ip) <-> localhost (home ip) so that the rcon works or something?

Sorry for my bad english.. >.>

And I do have router behind it.

hey devestation a couple things , under the assumption you are running windows. and you mention that the server, "the srcds" and the client, "the steam launch of the game" are located on he same computer. to find the networkpaths of the host computer , in windows hit start then run and type "cmd" into the command line.
this will open the dosx interface at the cursor type " ipconfig/all ". this will list all of the network paths. example--------
F:\Documents and Settings\me>ipconfig/all

there are also two utilities which are very helpful with viewing whats going on on the network interface in real time. from the windows "sysinternals suite" is "TCPVIEW"
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897437.aspx after you install this you'll have to enable it as an exception in your firewall program. it allows you to see all of the tcp/udp ports that are open and each of the processes or applications which own that port. this was useful for me because i,m running winxp pro. the os had numerous ports open that,"I did not use or were orphaned". this allowed me to increase my network speed. finally there is
"ICB2000",http://tucows.ctcinternet.cl/preview/194739.html
this allows you to see your upstream and downstream rates in real time. very useful for maximizing your servers bandwidth cvars the sv/cl cmd and update rates. to match wat your network has available.

Thanks for the help but that isn't what I am looking for.
I am trying to figure out on how to make the SRCDS rcon work from hosting a gameserver on a computer that has a router behind it.

The gameserver did work, but, its just about the SRCDS rcon part that isn't working.

Maybe theres a difference between the ip? Because the ip address from the router and the ip address from the internet itself is different.

Is rcon_password specified in the servers configuration file ? when you go to the in game console, rcon has to be entered twice I.E.
rcon_passord xxxxxxx then enter and again type rcon and your command. I.E.
rcon sv_cheats 1

Forward the ports on the router to the local server. rcon_password <pwd> in server.cfg. Start server with +ip <local ip> startup parameter.

Thing is, whenever i use the +ip, it crashes.
What do you mean by local ip? the NAT one? or WAN?

LAN one because you're behind a router

Oh ok, now I got it working. Thanks for your help!
