Re: [hlds] Unable to HOSt because..
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.

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. 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?

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).

Re: Re: [hlds] Unable to HOSt because..
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.

-- [ 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.

RE: Re: [hlds] Unable to HOSt because..
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. http://tinyurl.com/h35as All the resources you need are located in the steampowered support area. http://tinyurl.com/koh6s 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.

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.

Re: [hlds] Unable to HOSt because..
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. Link Ryan Brady wrote: 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.

BTW, your screen shot of the steam test page didn't come thru. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of gerald Sent: Friday, October 06, 2006 7:44 PM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: Re: [hlds] Unable to HOSt because.. @Scott I have a normal IP if that is what your looking for??

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 why I cant Host?? - Original Message - From: Scott Tuttle [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Sent: Friday, October 06, 2006 4:34 PM Subject: RE: Re: [hlds] Unable to HOSt because.. 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. http://tinyurl.com/h35as All the resources you need are located in the steampowered support area. http://tinyurl.com/koh6s 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.

RE: Re: [hlds] Unable to HOSt because..
No need for the whole group to see this. Please continue to use the group for troubleshooting. I am sending a picture of my server console so you can see it. If you look close the IP address listed is an internal IP address of 192.168.1.101 and my external IP is 75.117.144.3 I am also including my command line to show you that the IP address isn't even listed. D:\HLServer\hlds.exe -console -game cstrike +port 27015 +hostname Warcraft3 Mod Fast XP +map de_dust +maxplayers 9 -dll addons\metamod\dlls\metamod.dll -vacbeta -autoupdate It appears from you reply to me that you were able to connect to the dedicated server, is this true? Did you drop on your own or did the server kick you? If you were actually able to connect and stay in then start your server, give the EXTERNAL IP and I can see if I (or a friend) can join. This will prove that your port forwarding is right. If the dedicated server works then I would find a way to blow the steam menu server away and reload/reinstall it. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of gerald Sent: Friday, October 06, 2006 11:10 PM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: Re: [hlds] Unable to HOSt because.. well I just opened what Steam Support said to open?? if I dont need all them why do they say to open them all??

RE: Re: [hlds] Unable to HOSt because..
I run several dedicated servers and the only port I have open for all the game servers is 27015 for TCP. In router jargon this is the initial connection port and must be opened so the Internet can get to it. Of course the IP addy that the Internet sees is the Public (no need to say external) IP... the private IP, which no one can get directly to but you (private IP addresses are not addressable by routers in the Internet)... is the proverbial can't get there from here. The initial connection is made by someone on the Internet to the router's public IP address which is forwarded to the server. IP then negotiates a set of ports to be used by the session and when both sides agree, the connection is moved to a whole different set of ports you know nothing about and have even less control over. Your server then returns to listening on 27015 (in my case) for the next initial connection request. This is the simplest form of router function and depends on a rule of allowing all outgoing traffic but restricting incoming connections to only those you've specified. If you've done that then your good to go. Remember... the only IP address you've really got to work with is the public IP. A router performing NAT (network address translation) will multiplex that IP address across the 32,000 or so IP ports available on each host. On the outside chance that you do have a duel homed system (two NIC's) then check the binding order. Make sure the NIC you want your game to bind to is first in the list or use the IP command line entry. Best to do both. -Original Message- From: gerald [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 06, 2006 11:10 PM To: hlds@list.valvesoftware.com Subject: Re: Re: [hlds] Unable to HOSt because.. well I just opened what Steam Support said to open?? if I dont need all them why do they say to open them all??
