Not quite true. If you have a decent router and you set an internal
server as DMZ, it's NIC will have the public IP value. The reason why
it's best to run dual NIC's on a server that faces the public. Keep the
networks separated.

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.

I ran a dedicated server and recieved this error:
ERROR: couldn't open custom.hpk.
Dropped Nephilim from server
Reason: Client sent 'drop'

Internal IP shouldnt it use my External??

At least try running a dedicated server. If your computer has enough
power,
you can play too. I was able to do it for a few days while fixing my
server.
At the very least, maybe there will be an error message in the server
console that will give a hint to your problem.
BTW, your screen shot of the steam test page didn't come thru.

Yes, Steam has a TEST port page I found it on the Support Pages.
Somewhat
usefull for Diagnosing Peoples problems to see if there ports are open
or
Not.
that is why I am here trying to find out if it might be a Hardware or
Software problem as this is not a easy nut too crack, I have exhausted
all
the Support sites FAQ and answers for common problems I was sent here by
the
support site to get an answer to my question that they couldn't answer

Steam page to test ports???? What is that? I am not aware of that.
There servers really do need NOTHING special to work.
When you go to http://www.whatismyip.org/ what is your ip address?
Also what is the name of your server so you can check for it on
www.gametiger.net ?
If the ports are open and the server is running properly and it is
seto to sv_lan 0 then they should work. But you might also check to
make sure you have the sv_region set properly.

All the resources you need are located in the steampowered support
area.

Please check the very first 4 results from this search. If you have
already looked at them I suggest you look at them again and then
verify them and maybe look at them and verify them again. Triple
check them. Because these are all you need.

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.

"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. #^_^#

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. Otherwise you would have to change your plublic ip
manually in the
startup line every time it is changed by the ISP. Some
like to make
life
easy some are masaquist, right? Or you can purchase a
static ip if your
ISP
doesnt provide it free of charge.

@gerald
In the startup string add:
+ip <external ip>
for example: +ip 123.123.123.123
That should do it.
@jose
..... really, how is a domainname going to tell an
application that
wants
an
*IP* which IP it should use?
You need to use an IP address for this and not a domainname.

Hey dude it's really easy, you can simply get a free
domain like
www.no-ip.com or http://freedns.afraid.org i believe
is one, there
are
more
but you can Google that. And Srcds does work off a
domain instead of
ip
as
well. So that would be your best solution right now.
Hope this info helped out

[ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Hi, I
was sent here by the STEAM tech support as
they couldnt
answer my
question so they said to post here.
I read in the STEAM support site that the reason
I cant HOST
HalfLife is
because probally STEAM is using my Internal IP
and it Needs an
Exterenal IP.
My Question is How can I make Steam or Halflife
use my External
IP?? I am
using a D-Link DGL4300 Gaming router and XP Pro
