Couldnt allocate any server ip port Still need help

[TalkingWaterfall]

okay i read of some other guy who had the problem but i still cant solve it.
i get the message in gmod when trying to join my server. it works for my friends.

my command line to open server is: C:\srcds\orangebox\srcds.exe -console -game garrysmod +map rp_downtown_v3 +maxplayers 20 -autoupdate

My autoexec.cfg looks like this:
sv_defaultgamemode DarkRP

My server.cfg like this

Code:

hostname           "The Talking Server"
sv_defaultgamemode "DarkRP"
rcon_password      "xxxxxxx"
sbox_noclip        "0"
sbox_godmode       "0"
sbox_plpldamage    "1"
rp_toolgun         "1"
sbox_maxprops      "1000"
sbox_maxragdolls   "0"
sbox_maxeffects    "0"
sbox_maxdynamite   "0"
sbox_maxlamps      "0"
sbox_maxthrusters  "0"
sbox_maxwheels     "4"
sbox_maxhoverballs "0"
sbox_maxvehicles   "0"
sbox_maxbuttons    "20"
sbox_maxemitters   "0"
sbox_maxspawners   "0"
sbox_maxturrets    "0"

And its weird cause i can join just fine in games like tf2 or l4d

In startup options for the game set the client port to 27025 or something other than 27015. To do it add +clientport 27025 to your autoexec, or launch options in steam, you also need to start the server before you open the game or to make it easier, change the server port of the server, your friends will have to add it to the connect options though. Also I don't think you need the -autoupdate, i think it only works for linux.

okay ill try it

[TalkingWaterfall]

should i add it to MY options or the servers?

[TalkingWaterfall]

okay i tried adding it to both but still same message

[pengy]

In your options only, the server you add -port 27015 and in garrysmod startup add +clientport 27025

[TalkingWaterfall]

but it is already starting with port 27015 in the server. without that line

[TalkingWaterfall]

i still get the same error

[pengy]

Which is why you add +clientport 27025 to the garrysmod startup

[TalkingWaterfall]

i did...
and apparently its not only my own server who does this. every server does it

[pengy]

Thats very odd if every server gives you that error... try changing the clientport again, unless im mistaken and orangebox does not have a clientport, also are you doing this while the server is up?

[TalkingWaterfall]

yeah...
i used to be able to join other servers...
and apparently its not only gmod that does this now.
i got hijacked monday and it seems to have messed everything up or so

[TalkingWaterfall]

after shutting down the server everything is restored to normal
i can connect again.

[TalkingWaterfall]

but i need to be able to play meanwhile the server is running
