css server problems

[Pikku Sev]

People can't see my server on server list and my friends can't connect using my ip.
I have D-link DI-624+ router. It isn't a "bad router", which has commonly issues or is it? I'm not so sure...
If you have anything you could help me with, feel free to post and help cause I've tried so many things and it's still not working...

You and me both. We should start a club.

On a serious note, try listing all of your setting here so we can see if you set up something wrong. And tell us what you've tried so far.

Have you tried port forwarding? Which ports are you forwarding?
What are your start-up commands? Are you setting your internal IP address in your start up command?
Firewall?

I've tried port forwarding for my router, I'm forwarding: UDP/TCP 27015, UDP 1200, UDP 27020, TCP 27030. I've tried to add in all the ports but it says something like that there isn't enough space or something I don't know... My start commands are:

Code:

c:\srcds\srcds.exe -console -game cstrike -tickrate 66 -port 27015 -maxplayers 14 +map de_dust2  -autoupdate

Oh and my internal IP is withing that also.

EDIT: There was also a strange issue when my friend tried to join my server with my extrenal ip + port, he told me that he got this error in console:
Network: IP xxx.xxx.x.xxx, mode MP, dedicated No, ports 27015 SV / 27005 CL
NOTICE THAT I'M NOT SURE IS THIS EVEN CAUSED WHEN HE TRIED TO JOIN MY SERVER.

Your friends "error" isn't actually an error.

Okay, thanks. Still having problems with others seeing my server tho :S

Are you sure people aren't seeing your server? What exactly are you basing this on?

Try leaving your server online for a few days or so and see if at least one person connects. If one or more connect then you're sure that you're server is visible.

I've seen this so many times - someone says "nobody can see my server" and then it turns out it's actually in the serverlist but it's not popular so almost noone connects...

Well yea, I've seen like 3 people joining my server but any of my friends can't see it or find it using my IP.

If you've seen three people joining it then it's in the master list!
If your friends can't connect then they're either using the wrong IP or something is wrong on their end.
