I'll ask again, can you tell us exactly what port forwarding you've done? Such as:
"I have forwarded UDP 27015 to my server" That would give us something to go on. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ryan Brady Sent: Friday, October 06, 2006 8:25 PM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: Re: [hlds] Unable to HOSt because.. ok, here is how a router works. the router gets an ip from your ISP. you plug your computers into the router. the router gives your computers thier own 'internal' IPs. your computer does not have an internal and external IP. when you send and recieve data, the router says 'oh michaels computer is going to google.com so ill send google.com stuff back to him' same goes for hlds traffic, except the router doesnt know where to send it because you are just listening, unless specified by port forwarding or setting up a DMZ. In the case of custom.hpk it just holds user spraypaints and the like im pretty sure. remember though, you connot bind to an ip address that is not on your machine. your 'external' ip is on the router, not your computer, you cant bind to it. the same way i cant setup a server using your ip from my house. ----- Original Message ----- From: "gerald" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <hlds@list.valvesoftware.com> Sent: Friday, October 06, 2006 9:04 PM Subject: Re: Re: [hlds] Unable to HOSt because.. > @Michael > I ran a dedicated server and recieved this error: > > ERROR: couldn't open custom.hpk. > Dropped Nephilim from server > Reason: Client sent 'drop' > > > will that help figure out my problem??
