Connecting to my server (Router)

[Robienske]

Hi,
I start my server with the folowing command:

Code:

C:\srcds\srcds.exe -console -game cstrike -autoupdate +maxplayers 12 +map cs_italy

It starts correctly, and ends with:

Quote:Connection to Steam servers succesful.
VAC secure mode is activated.

But when I try to connect to it in CS:S, it fails after 4 trys.

I opened these ports in my router (D-Link DSL-G624T):

Code:

UDP 1200
UDP 27000 to 27015
UDP 27020
TCP 27030 to 27039
TCP 27015

This is my server.cfg:

Code:

// server name
hostname "!!![NL/BE]!!! Home server - By Robienske"

// rcon passsword
rcon_password "" // rcon disabled

you kinda forgot to say how you were connecting to it? what ip did you use? are you playing on the same computer? if not are you on the same network as the server?

[Robienske]

I used the ip from "whatismyip.com" and I'm playing on the same computer. I can play if I use my router IP 192.168.1.1, but of course others can't connect to that IP.

[CaptainMack]

in D-link there's a "firewall" option, might want to put the general (example: 89.192.129.90: PORT) port and add it to the firewall. Else it will disconnect everyone connecting

[Robienske]

If i look at the firewall section, everything is disabled.

ya your suppose to use the internal ip. use 192.168.1.1 for you to connect to and other connect to the external ip. thats what i do. i play on lan and everyone else plays on the external. works perfectly

[manofphat]

Hook us up with your external IP if you feel comfortable

[Robienske]

I have a dynamic IP, so, it's quite useless, and my server isn't online 24/7. But thx MaTty! I'll give it a try.

[Robienske]

My friends can't connect. They get the same message as if I try to connect on my external IP.
"Connection failed after 4 retries"

This is my IP now (it's dynamic): 217.136.89.88

[manofphat]

Definitely nothing coming out of that IP.
Lets see if we can narrow down the problem.
Could you bypass your router (connect your modem directly to your PC and establish a connection that way)?

[Robienske]

No, I can't. The modem is built in the router.

[manofphat]

ARG! I hate those!
Does it have a DMZ option?

[Robienske]

What is DMZ ?

EDIT: Oh there is. If found it in the Advanced tab. But what do i have to fill in in the IP adress box?

you put in the internal ip address of the server, only 1 machine can be on the dmz (that's why)

[Robienske]

Ok i did, DMZ is enabled, and my friend still can't join.
