-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] The server definitily shouldn't be bound to the external port on your router. It shouldn't even be possible to do that.
The server IP will be something like 192.168.0.4. People connect by using your public IP and the router forwards the traffic. If they can't connect using the public IP, then there is something set wrong: the port forwarding is setup wrong, the computer you are hosting srcds on has a firewall setup, etc. On 10/6/06, gerald <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > SORRY but I am VERY Familiar with Port Forwarding it is setup Properly it > is > NOT an issue with port forwarding > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Whisper" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <hlds@list.valvesoftware.com> > Sent: Friday, October 06, 2006 12:00 PM > Subject: Re: Re: [hlds] Unable to HOSt because.. > > > > -- > > [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] > > Hence the reason he was sent to the STEAM Forums > > > > Do not pass go > > > > Do not collect $200 > > > > On 10/7/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> > >> I would bet that this guy does not have port forwarding set up > properly. > >> If port forwarding is done right the game server will work, people will > >> be > >> able to connect and it will eventually show up in the master server > list. > >> I > >> do not have my server bound to the external IP and it works just fine. > >> > >> The reason he has no clue about the command line is he is probably > >> starting the server from the steam menu.
