If you have local access to the server, you can check by running the game server instance with a visible console window, as follows. This will NOT work over Terminal Services, since the console will not show up on remote connections. (If someone can explain why this is the case, I would appreciate it).
1. Set the ShowSrcdsConsoleWindow attribute to "True" in the <GameConfig> element for your server instance. 2. Ensure that the ogsWatcher Service properties allow it to interact with the desktop. Open the service properties for ogs Watcher Service and select the "Log On" tab. Ensure you have "Local System account" selected and that the "Allow service to interact with the desktop" checkbox is checked. When you start ogsWatcher and it spins up your game server instance, you should see its console window on your desktop. If you have to use remote access, then you can install a tool like HLSW, enter the IP and port of your server and see if HLSW finds and hooks up with your game instance on the expected endpoint. If you use specify the IPAddress and Port in your <GameConfig> and the game instance runs, then you are pretty well assured it is running on that endpoint.

It's not coming up in the server list and if I add it to the favorites list I get a server is not responding message. I asked my hosting company to open up port 27015 (TCP/UDP) and they said it was done. Is there anything else that I can tell them to do so that my server will come up in the list? I'm now using ogsWatcher to start my server and I think it's assigned to 27015 (how can I check it?) BTW: 00 is not a country code. It is used for as a prefix for making foreign phone calls in Iceland +354 is the country code for Iceland.
