SRCDS Steam group


Everything works, except Steam list
#1
My CS:Source server running on Windows XP is working... people from either side of the router are able to connect to it and play.

All required ports are being forwarded to the correct machine.

sv_region is set to 0 for East Coast.

However, the server still does not show up in the Steam server list, for the East Coast or any other region........

any suggestions???

someone? anyone?

I've read several similar posts that deal with this issue, but everything that worked in those cases does not seem to work for me.

I've been sitting with an empty server for some time now and would like to start filling it with people rather than bots

If others are able to connect from outside the router to your static ip, it should be showing on the server's list. How are they finding your server to connect to it? Do you have any filters set on your steam server list search? (i.e. secure, region, map, etc....) I would try with no filters to search for. Your server should have a pretty low latency so it should be real close to the top. If it still isn't seeing your startup command line and server.cfg and port forward list would be helpful.

Yes others can connect from outside the router - I give them the server IP, they type it into Favorites, and they connect with no problems.

I have no filters set in my list search and it still does not come up in the list.

My startup command line:
srcds.exe -console -autoupdate -game cstrike -port 27015

My password-safe Server.cfg is attached

Ports being forwarded:
UDP 1200
TCP 27000-27050
UDP 27000-27050

Deep into the darkness. Pearing long I stod there, wondering, fearing, doubting.

Yes, and it claims to be secure

Yet no one outside of your network can see it on their lists?

Exactly. The only way anybody is able to see it is by adding it to their favorites.

Try looking for a server in your list going by the name ThePit CS:Source

What type of router do you have? have you tried to update your routers firmware? also, on a windows box -autoupdate doesn't do anything, and has been known to cause wierd things to happen.. take it out, probly won't change anything, but its not doing anything anyways.

It's a netgear RP614. It has the "latest" firmware, dated Dec 2003 as shown on their site. I'm willing to try a 3rd party firmware if somebody can find one?

I'll try removing autoupdate, see if it helps.

If this is true, the Windows tutorial on http://www.srcds.com shouldn't include it in the startup command line Big Grin

In response to that, yes it does need corrections. But there is a thread about how this site needs work stickied in this section.


In response netgear routers have worked really well with SRCDS in my usage, so do you also have a firewall on your computer? that may be also causing the issue if you do have a software firewall.

Nope, no firewall on the compuer at all

It's finally working!!!

Problem is... the DSL modem is also a 1-port router. It was set up with DMZ to the Netgear router, and the Netgear was doing the port forwarding. In the config for the DSL modem/router, it was by default set to NAPT... I set it to NAT and voila!

Thanks for all the help & suggestions!!
