My Friends Can't Join

[Sudit]

Hi all

So here's the deal, i'm running a srcds and i can join my server and add it to steam servers list but my friends can't, when they add the ip i give to them, the servers appears with 2000 ping and the name doesn't show (just the ip numbers) i really dont know what to do so as other players can join my server remotely...and i dont use a router, the only help topics i've seen so far are for users with routers. Can some1 help plz.

(things that might help to know ...i guess)

-i'm noob, so i'm sorry if this is a stupid thread
-my english is not the best so if you can't understand something plz say it
-the server is as it was installed the only thing i've changed was the file with the maps so that i could add a map that i made with hammer xD
-if there is some cfg to run or to input in server console plz tell me 'cause i didn't write a damned thing in that console unless the sv_lan "0"

Hope you guys can help me. thanks

First off have u routed your ports? Did you give them your modem's global ip instead of your internal one?

[Sudit]

well i added those ports (27000 to 27015) in my firewall and i give my friends my modem's global ip, i can join with the ip i see in "ipconfig" but my friends should be able to join with the ip i see in "whatismyip"
dunno if that answers your question ^^

Here is a batch file for the Windows firewall settings (if you're running Windows/Windows Firewall).  Just copy and past in to a .bat file and run it.

Also, unblock / allow srcds.exe AND open the software firewall ports.  Try seeing if it work with the firewall off.

Make sure your command line is something like this:
srcds.exe -console -game hl2mp +maxplayers 5 -tickrate 66 +map mymap
