RCON problem - Cant Connect to Remote Server

Hey Guys,

nice forum you have going here. ill make this short and simple.
I have srcds, im using it for Garrys Mod 10.

I have the server running, had to download all the files using the hldsupdatetool but all done. I can connect and so can others, no problem there.

When I enter "rcon" in the cmd, it comes up with the following message:
"cant connect to remote server (0.0.0:0)"

When I enter "rcon" in the console on my server, I get the same error message with my Global IP address instead of the 0's.

I have the ports forwarded in my router:


What seems to be the issue?

Specs:
Windows XP Pro
3700+ AMD Athlon (64-bit)
2GB RAM
NETGEAR FR114P Router

Thanks for your time

try typing rcon_address <IPHERE> on the client, after that it should rcon to the correct address
If you are in a network use the network IP of the server, when not in the same network use the WAN IP

Ok will do, thanks for your help. I will let you know how it goes
when I get back home.

Thank you very much Droc!

I entered: "rcon_address 192.168.0.2"
in the SOURCE DEDICATED SERVER screen and has worked perfectly.

Thanks for your time
