Dedicated Garrys mod won't show up on LAN

[yggdrasil]

Ok i have set up a Garrys Mod dedicated server in windows server 2003 following this tutorial http://wiki.garrysmod.com/wiki/?title=Dedicated_Server_Setup that every one seems to recommend and it all seem to go fine...
But i can not get it to show up under the LAN tab on G MOD.

I how ever can see it when I go to the "Favorites" tab and go to "add server" and type in my LAN IP of my server and click "show games on server" Like so...


My CMD on my server looks like so


I use the following code in a .bat file

Code:

cd\
c:\srcds\orangebox\srcds.exe -console -game garrysmod -hostport 27015 +maxplayers 10 +map gm_construct

I read some where that i should add "+lan_1" in the line but it still did not work with or without it.

I have set up a Team fortress 2 server in a very similar way and using this code in a .bat file

Code:

cd\
c:\srcds\orangebox\srcds.exe -console -game tf -hostport 27015 +maxplayers 24 +map ctf_2fort

and it worked and operated fine using the same port (27015) (note: I am not running both Gmod and TF@ at the same time)

Can any one please help, if there is any other infomation needed just ask.

Thank you, Maurice.

Do you run any other servers? Besides the Team Fortress 2? If so, try shut them down. I just want to make sure

Also, the lan_1 isn't a valid command. It's sv_lan 1

But you should use sv_lan 0

I don't run any other servers at the moment.

I used both

Code:

cd\
c:\srcds\orangebox\srcds.exe -console -game garrysmod -hostport 27015 +maxplayers 10 +map gm_construct +sv_lan 0

and

Code:

cd\
c:\srcds\orangebox\srcds.exe -console -game garrysmod -hostport 27015 +maxplayers 10 +map gm_construct +sv_lan 1

Still nothing...

Also when i add my server to my "Fav" tab in Gmod it just doesn't show up, It showed up once but whne i click to enter it, it just flashed the "server loading/downloading files" screen then 1 second latter jumped back to my Gmod menu.

Try remove -hostport 27015 is not needed, since the port 27015 is standard

Try the Steam Client Server list, try check for LAN games there.
