Now, I should probably explain myself.
I've been lurking on the forums for a while, and must say, the work and help given here is great. And seeming as I'm hopeless at running servers, I thought I'd give you lot a shout ;-) I didn't know whether to post this in the Windows/Linux boards respectively, as the way I'm running the server is on an Ubuntu Gutsy (7.10) box under Wine.
At current, its a Garry's Mod 10 server, running rp_oviscity and a max player slot of 16. 3 times out of 5, the server is on the master list, fine and dandy. I can even add my external IP to my favourites, and it will show up and let me connect with a machine on the LAN. However, when someone else, a friend, connects, they get the "Steam TicketID not valid" or similar. I can't quote you as the server only went up last night.
I do not know whether this is a problem with my server, or his client. Ports are forwarded, I am sure, otherwise I wouldn't be able to see it in the master list and the server wouldn't have connected to the master servers. It even is "VAC Secured". So why can he not connect? The server isn't up at current, but can be launched if need be.
Thanks for any help.
