Help with Ded Server

[bjthecool]

hey guys, im new to making servers but i am a long time source and 1.6 player XD...

im having troble with it. at first i couldnt get the files to download...and i think it keeps closing on me. the command prompt window never said that its all done...it just shut areount the 90% mark (i was watching tv so im not exactly sure).

i then tryed to run srcds short cut and i put in the target box (its all stored in D:\Steam\srcds) D:\Steam\srcds\srcds.exe -console -game cstrike -tickrate 66 -port 27015 –noipx +log on -maxplayers 24 +map de_dust2

it turns out like this:

and i cant find it in the master servers and whenever i put in the ip (connect ..................(from console in css) it just times out.

sooooooo, i made another server. download it all again, got a mani admin pluggin and tweaked it (p.s i used the same server config files)
these are the config files:
// server name
hostname "AAAAABBBBBBCCCCCC"

// rcon passsword
rcon_password "" // rcon disabled

// server cvars

this is my this is my autoexec.exe:
mp_dynamicpricing 0

i also made a .vfg for the mani plugin so it should work but still no server in the master severs list or it just times out when i try to connect. this is what the second one looks like(NOTE: this one has 12 player max):

4. how can i veiw my server on the master games list?

i also have my map cycle consisting of de_dust and de_dust2 and the same for my maplist

Did you do portforwarding?

When you've done that, then you should just use your external ip like: connect <ip> in your console.

When portforwarding is done, your server should show up in the master list. .

im trying to port forward using PFConfig software. my router the Belkin F5D5730au, does not show up on the lists and i dont think is capable of port forwarding for counter strike source. Can my server work without port forwarding or is there something im doing wrong in my set-ups for the server that im stuffing up?

[realchamp]

Your server can't be shown in the master list/online, without portforwarding the required ports. I don't see any wrongs in the setups you're doing.

A local server will never show up on your internet list.
