Can access server via LAN, friends cannot connect nor can they find serve on master list. Friends get "server not responding" error.
Tried DMZ and shut off all firewalls, router and pc. No change. Changed port forwarding several times, each time to no avail. 3 days later, still no live server. Read and re-read tutorial on this site and several others.
Have had experience with CS servers, yet on a different router. Would appreciate any help. I'm on steam, -=Zer(/)=-[SLADE]^ practically 24/7. If you need any more information on the setup or what have you, feel free to pm me on steam or add to thread.
Thanks in advance!
