Garry's Mod. Dedicated server won't show.
#1
Just recently I set up a Garry's Mod 10 server for the Toast clan. I had a clean install and when I started the server it worked great. I only received a few cosmetic errors from console. The problem is, is my server does not show up on the Maser Server list. People can connect no problem when they physically type my IP address, but my server cannot be seen on the master list. If people add my IP to their favorites they can see me there. I use srcds. The start up line I use is:

Code:
C:\srcds\srcds.exe -console -game garrysmod +map_gmconstruct +maxplayers 7 +hostname [Toast] Dedicated Server #4 aAon -heapsize 16384 -tickrate 100 -port 27013

I have forwarded the following ports both UDP and TDC to my computer:

Code:
1200
27000-27015
27020-27039

I have the following mods installed on my server, encase any of these are the culpurate:
Code:
ECS
Nocollideall
Unbreakable
Door
Wire
Turret
Lifesupport
Weapon Stripper
Anti-Noclip
Breakable
Cloaking
Keypad
OlStacker
PHX
Prop Secure
Rail gun
Server Secure

The only other processes that run on my server while I run my server is:
Code:
srcdsfpsbooster.exe
watchdog.bat

This is a copy of the console the very first time I started the server before any one connected:

Code:
101.1 fps  0/ 6 on map     gm_construct

Server still does not show. I have waited till the server has started and typed sv_lan 0 and then heartbeat, server does not show. My server is set up on a bare bones Windows XP, there is no AV or Firewall. There is nothing to cause interference.

From what I have read on the forums this seems to be a pretty common problem with some people trying to start a server. The thing with them is they normally post a few times about it and then that's it, so there is no answers in any of the "help" threads.

Please if someone can help me out here. I hope someone here is more helpful than on FP. I've waited over a week for an answer there and all I recieved for help then was, Check your ports and Check to make sure people can connect.

The problem here is that there isn't really a solution, that's why we always say check the ports first.
If that doesn't work try DMZ.
Doesn't work? check firewalls and anti-virus.
if that doesn't work either it's a router problem (not compatible) or an ISP lock on running servers or stuff like that.

to see if your router is the problem:
make a direct connection to the server (no router!) and see if it shows up, if it does you know it's your router.

I always say:
routers suck, try to avoid them at all costs really, they ALWAYS cause trouble (the cheap routers you get from your ISP when you order your connection). Professional routers won't give any problems at all if configured correctly, but these cost some money.

Well, on the computer I use for srcds I did a fresh install of windows XP. I then stripped it to bare bones. There is 0 firewall 0 AV. The absolute only thing on there is srcds. My ISP is down with the servers.. And my modem is a POS so i cant do a direct connection to that. I need to go through a router. I had a linksys, I just bought a new belkin It was 90$ so I am hoping its a good one.

Belkin should work perfectly fine, they always did for me.
