Ports with Ubuntu and VMware

[sabados]

So, i only know a bit about linux, enough to get the server installed and running, but now my problem is that the port on the server keeps changeing, im sure its because im running ubuntu through vmware, trying to make my box virtualized..... anyone know how to fix this?? my start line is:

./srcds_run -game cstrike -pingboost 2 -tickrate 100 +map de_dust2 +maxplayers 16 -noipx -console -port 27016

works on windows perfectly, just not in my vmware ubuntu... please help !!

a quick edit, when i add +ip what.ever.my.ip.

i get this

Console initialized.
Game.dll loaded for "Counter-Strike: Source"
maxplayers set to 32
maxplayers set to 16
WARNING: NNET_OpenSocket: bind: Cannot assign requested address
Couldn't allocate dedicated server UDP port
Add "-debug" to the ./srcds_run command line to generate a debug.log to help with solving this problem

you adding your internal ip?

[sabados]

well no, i meen, i tried it justi ncase, but i used my external ip for that one... i know WHY i get that error, i also have a windows server running, im trying to stack servers on my box with virtulization, my problem is really the port, not the ip

i just wanna add that the server runs fine with no ip assignment, but the port keeps changeing, so unless i foreward evertry port from 100 to 1000 i really cant do much with it.

lets see the output the server gives when you start it. Copy and paste it

and why are you trying to stack the box with virtualization?

why not just do it all within windows

[sabados]

well, windows you cant tweak the kernal to 1k fps, ill paste you my output as soon as i finish reinstalling vmware lol

you have to bind to the internal address. do you get the exact same error when you do that?

[get]

install linux native to run servers.... it will manage better the resources as "boxed"
