HLDS is going to require a few inbound ports, but a basic NAT rule should cover the return traffic. If it's not working for you, I'd contact the ISP and see what can be done. >My capacity to set up another Hardware firewall being somewhat limited >by my situation I was hoping for another option. I really do not like >the idea of a software firewall but if it could do the job I could live >with it. It won't, I'm afraid. If I've a hardware firewall it's between you and the internet, and it's protecting multiple hosts. I'm not about to do an any-any rule for your host and hope your software firewall handles an attack and poke one major hole in my security. Rather, I'd suggest you open up a trouble ticket with your ISP, explain you're wanting to run a HL2 engine, and let them write up an appropriate rule-set to allow, say, 20715-20779udp inbound and have the outbound NAT rule cover the server send portion. Web has no need for UDP packets so this would be a separate issue. It's only if you want multiple things listening on, say, port 80 that you'll require the 1-1 NATs. From what you're telling me, it's not a firewall problem so much as a lack of knowledge as to how to set the rule-base up in the firewall to give you what you need. You're paying for this service. Insist that they abide by their end of the deal, monitor, and adjust. Compared to h.323 and netmeeting traffic, HLDS is a breeze for a firewall admin. Good luck. - Dan * Dan Sorenson DoD #1066 A.H.M.C. #35 [EMAIL PROTECTED] * * Vikings? There ain't no vikings here. Just us honest farmers. * * The town was burning, the villagers were dead.

[hlds] Re: Bzip maps+resources on Windows server
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] http://www.clan-beef.net/wally3k/guides/bzip.php That should help, but you only need to Bzip each map up seperatly. If you do the custom resources, I find they tend to bugger up and not download, even with a proper RES file. I'm also assuming you have a properly set up webserver for this. :) To save time when doing multiple maps, you can make a BAT file with the following - -Copy from here- @echo off cd \ bzip2 \bzip2\*.* -Stop copy from here- Bat files can be made using the method explained here - http://whisper.ausgamers.com/wiki/index.php/Fps_problems#Process_Prioritys Hope that helps.

RE: [hlds] Error Boxes
Hey LDuke, This probably won't answer your actual question, however is interesting as a side note: It appears that ServerChecker can detect when an exception is thrown in SRCDS to a degree, as if the host becomes unresponsive on the TCP port SRCDS is running on, ServerChecker spawns a new process. When I was using ServerChecker, I would login to my server to sometimes find up to 3 or 4 instances of exception dialogs up however ServerChecker would continue to spawn instances of SRCDS, and my server would continue to work. Not ideal, but it is working to a degree. As I said, not a solution, however if you got desperate to find a workaround, you could potentially use a port monitor of some sort that could re-start the service if the TCP port was closed? Maybe...

Re: [hlds] [HLDS-OT]Server firewall recomendations?
If the firewall (I'm assuming one of the integrated NICs like theplanet uses) allows outbound by default, or has a canned ruleset for this scenario, all you need to forward back in is UDP on whatever port your server runs. Other communication is initiated at the server and outbound. - Original Message - From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: ; Sent: Thursday, February 16, 2006 4:57 PM Subject: Re: [hlds] [HLDS-OT]Server firewall recomendations?

It addresses the high CPU usage some people are seeing after applying the last update (in particular users with mutli-core machines).

The update fixes the pipes assert, a crash on startup for dual-proc machines and some in game stalls. Thanks to everyone that gave us feedback, it really helps track down these problems. - Alfred Alfred Reynolds wrote: We have a beta release available for both the Source and HL1 engine. This beta fixes the steam id swapping problem amongst other small fixes. You can apply the beta by running the hldsupdatetool and adding "-beta swapbeta" to the command line. A couple of users in an initial test reported a server hang and associated assert (pipes.cpp line 298), if you see this please send me your OS configuration and hardware. - Alfred ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives
Re: [hlds] Amuck, amuck, amuck
Did you add your name to a list at any given time? Seems like that would answer your question right there. For example, I am an admin on all of my servers. I don't recal putting my name on a list incase someone was upset over a ban. If they want you to find them, they'll make that information available, otherwise find another server. There's only what... 30 CS servers? One's bound to fit your fancy. - Original Message - From: "Visitor Rodgers" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Wednesday, February 15, 2006 11:11 PM Subject: RE: [hlds] Amuck, amuck, amuck Its more of a general question about who is admin on given servers.
