Master List Problems...

[rondog]

My server has been up for 3 weeks now and I cant get the server to show up on the master list. I've tried opening ports 27000-27020 in tcp and udp.

Anyone can connect if I give them the IP and anyone I ask to check the server list comes back negative. Nobody can see it.

My startup script is:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
echo "Starting Cs:Source Server"
sleep 1
cd /hlserver
screen -A -m -d -S css-server ./srcds_run -debug -console -game cstrike -tickrate 100 +fps_max 600 +map dm_crackhouse10 +maxplayers 16 -autoupdate

and my server.cfg is:

Code:

// bandwidth rates/settings
sv_maxrate 30000 //DONT CHANGE
sv_minrate 0 //DONT CHANGE
sv_maxupdaterate 100 //DONT CHANGE
sv_minupdaterate 10 //DONT CHANGE
fps_max 600 //DONT CHANGE
decalfrequency 10 //DONT CHANGE

// operation
sv_LAN 0
sv_region 1

My server IP is 205.134.246.75:27015 - 24/7 CRACKHOUSE - DM - [WEST COAST]

When I start my server it says:

Can anyone think of why this would be happening?

According to steam, your server "is not currently playing on any game server." Which aside form a few bugs in steams programming, or the hidden ability for servers actually to play game on other servers like sentiant computers ... Causes me to believe you have a port forwarding issue. As well as opening the ports, did you port forward, specificly the game and query ports?

[rondog]

according to steam, my server is not currently playing on any game server? where did you find that?

I have ports 27000 through 27020 open..would I forward them to my network IP or my server ip? My server ip is 205.134.246.75, but my network Ip is 172.16.91.15:27015. What ports do I need to open/forward exactly?

oh and if I type status in putty I see this:

Code:

status
hostname:         24/7 CRACKHOUSE - DM - [WEST COAST]
version : 1.0.0.34/7 3734 secure
udp/ip  :  172.16.91.15:27015
map     :  dm_crackhouse10 at: 0 x, 0 y, 0 z

# userid name uniqueid connected ping loss state adr
# 2 "<BOT> Tim" BOT active
# 3 "<BOT> Gary" BOT active
# 4 "<BOT> Perry" BOT active

and I can see them on these sites just by searching:

I added your server IP to my fav's in Steam > Servers. Then right click game info, and it told me your server wasn't playing on a game server.

So your server is working of default port 27015, so open & forward: tcp & udp to your network address (172.16.91.15).
If you want you can forward all of them, but 27015 should be enough.

There was a good tutorial floating around on the Tutorials forum on how to setup port forwarding and everything, but I can't find it anymore.
But this explains routers, portforwarding and such: http://forums.srcds.com/viewtopic/1847

Ah, so that explains the player count of 4. Has anyone else been able to connect?

it is better if you go to http://www.portforward.com/ to help you forwarding the ports.
