Can anyone see my server?

[TheMan_]

Im not sure if my server is listing on the Steam master server list or not, so could someone tell me if you see my counter strike source server called Midwest CSS in the internet steam server list.

See in your sig, how it shows your servers status, it also means that it's working fyi.

I think he got that singnature after gamemann confirmed that his server is online.
However he could use it to check if his server is online in the future!

Oh, good point. Well if so, that is another way to check to see if it's online, and weather or not people on the internet can see it.

Yea I liked gamemann's banner so I went and got one myself

I noticed that if you dont allow your router to be pinged then your server wont show up on the steam internet list. I could be wrong but that seems like what happened in my situation. I think most routers disable icmp traffic by default, but im no pro at this so I could be wrong.

hmm could be a possible solution, there are many theories on this. Sadly no confirmation from VALVe, yet.

i can join it fine, but nobody really joins my server, it just takes time to get ur server popular through the list(since there are like 1000+ other servers and half of them are at 0 players like mine ) It's a good server too!

If someone was good with wireshark and knew what type of packets to look for then im sure they could figure out what packets are being blocked that the master server needs for propagation to occur. You may have to setup dmz temporarily for this type of packet sniffing I would guess.

check sv_region value

it configures where the server is listed throughout the master list the region..

So would you set it to 255 so everyone in the world can see it?
