I may have missed it, but what forwarding rules exactly have you put in place? Honestly, it takes only 1 rule with any decent firewall to allow direct IP connections.

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. You never see a command line from there. It's nice that you can start a server multiple ways but it makes it very hard to help someone out. My IPS charges 20 bucks a month for a static IP so I don't have one. It's a pain when the IP changes BUT my server works just fine. I just wish I could get more bandwidth in this hick town. > > From: "Sailor Mercury-sama \(NL\)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: 2006/10/06 Fri AM 10:28:20 CDT > To: <hlds@list.valvesoftware.com> > Subject: Re: [hlds] Unable to HOSt because.. > > "if you want your server to appeare in the server list" > If you mean to have your server appear in the master list at valve: not > relevant > > If you start a game server on steam (and it's properly configed/connected) > your server will be added to the master list automatically. > All a domainname does is to provide people on internet an easy to remember > why to find a computer on internet (like www, ftp, email). > > "Otherwise you would have to change your plublic ip manually in the > startup > line every time it is changed by the ISP" > Now I get it. ^__^ > I tested it and that works indeed. > > I am so lucky that I have static IPs at my server and at home. #^_^# > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Jose Pacheco" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <hlds@list.valvesoftware.com> > Sent: Friday, October 06, 2006 5:43 PM > Subject: Re: [hlds] Unable to HOSt because.. > > > > No, the +ip 123.123.123.123 command in the start u is correct, but the > > domain would be if you want your server to appeare in the server list, > > so > > the domain would be setup to the computer/server that is hosting the > > srcds > > box.
