Earlier today I installed SRCDS by following this tutorial. (Except for the extra content part.)
I run the server, check my Steam servers tab and under LAN I see my server.
When I try to connect however it gives me the "after 4 tries" error.
I doubt this is a port forwarding problem because I can't even connect locally and second of all I checked using YouGetSignal.
I have even tried with Windows Firewall turned off. I'm not essentially bad with computers so I thought settings this up would not be such a difficult process, infact I'm quite the techie but at this point in time I'm completely stumped because I've tried almost everything..
Also for reference here's my server shortcut target:
I can completely avoid using SRCDS by running a listen server because this won't be up 24/7 however I don't want to force friends connecting to the listen server to download all the addons and custom files that I've got in my game so this was the easiest way to keep a clean setup for whenever I want to play with a couple of friends privately.
EDIT: For what it's worth I'd like to add that this dedicated server is run on the same computer I play on.
