Sounds like you are behind a router. If you are not, make sure you are not running a firewall (software or hardware) - The 192.*.*.* is not your ISP IP, that is your home network IP (again most likely because your behind a router).
You will need to setup port forwarding or DMZ on your router in order to allow the connections to pass-through and be routed to the proper machine. -Lane -----Original Message----- From: hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com] On Behalf Of Sanjay B.R Sent: Wednesday, July 07, 2010 10:50 AM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: [hlds] HDLS Dedicated server Hello everybody, I am a newbie to counter strike, i have bought the game condition zero from steam. I have my friends who have also bought along with me, we intend to play through internet, and i am having trouble creating a dedicated server. Find below the steps i did , please correct me if i am wrong. Please guide me with the steps necessary for achieving this. Step 1: I downloaded and installed the Counter Strike - Condition Zero from the steam application. Step 2: I tried running the "HLDS.exe" present in the path *"D:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\<username>\condition zero"* but it threw an error saying "*This application has failed to start because Steam.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.*" Step 3: Then i logged into my steam account, downloaded a tool called "*Dedicated Server*" and installed it my pc. Step 4: I started the dedicated server, with the following options. Game : Condition Zero Server Name : <server_name> Map : <map> *Network : Internet* Max. Players : 10 UDP Port : 27016 RCON Password : <password> Secure (Valve Anti-cheat) -> selected Step 5: Once the server is running, i see that the server has taken my local ip *192.XX.XX.XX:27016* Step 6: I start the condition zero game and try looking for the server i have hosted in the "*Find Servers*" -> "*Internet*" Tab, but my server is not listed. * case a: *I tried adding it in my favorites by using the option " *Add Server*". This did not list my server too, and i tried connecting directly, by opening the Console in condition zero and using the command "*connect <ip>:27016*", it said "*Steam validation rejected*". *case b: *I asked my friends to search for the server i hosted, but they too did not find it. Step 6: So i started from the beginning, till *Step 4* , in step 4 i choose *LAN* as a Network instead of *Internet* *Network : LAN *In this case, surprisingly * ** case a: *I tried adding it in my favorites by using the option "*Add Server*". This listed my server, but the server info mentioned "* 0.0.0.0*" and status "*Server not responding*" *case b: *I asked my friends to search for the server i hosted, they found it, this time, but it was displaying my server ip as 192.XX.XX.XX:<portno>. which is my local ip provided by my ISP and they were unable to connect to the server. But one thing is that i am able to join a game by using the command "*connect <ip>:27016*" it worked. To summarize the problem statement, *I would like to use HLDS to create a server, and i will be playing in the same machine, and would want my friends to join the server through internet.* Please let me know if i am wrong in any of the above steps.
