[hlds] L4D Dedicated server behind NAT problems?
I'm glad there's a fix for this, but if you're on the same network as the server, you have to use port forwarding/DMZ to connect to it yourself, plus it kills rcon and for some odd reason, they didn't include rcon_address in the game. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds

Re: [hlds] L4D Dedicated server behind NAT problems?
I'm on the same network as my server and I don't have to DMZ it. I had some difficulty getting connected sometimes, but those problems have been eliminated. If the server is empty, I can connect to it with no issues. If the server has players on, but an open slot, I cannot join from any method besides one...the LAN tab in the server browser. Let's say there's 3/4 slots full. If I open the LAN tab in the server browser and double-click on my server, it takes me to the loading screen with the movie posters, but it just sits there. I have to open the server browser again and double-click on it one more time to kick it in gear and then I load in just fine. I have noticed something amiss. If I'm the first one to join(not using the server browser), then it seems that matchmaking is ignoring my server(for lack of a better word). The only time people come in is when I give them the IP of my server and they use: connect xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:x in their console. Now that myself and another are on, if someone from that person's Friends list right-clicks on their Friend and clicks Join Game, they can join. If people on -my- Friends list right-click me in Friends and try to Join Game, they get the problem where it tries to connect to my internal IP address and not my external. Bleh, I'm kind of all over the map there, but the point is to try connecting to your server through the LAN tab of the server browser. It may fail/hang the first time, so open it back up while it's still trying to connect and double-click again and you should be able to join. I'm able to do this by binding a key to the CVar 'openserverbrowser'. Example: bind F4 openserverbrowser I'm sure all the details of this are being worked out, so try to be patient. Hopefully, the method I outlined works for you. I'm satisfied that I can get into my server for now, so I can wait for whatever fix may be coming our way. If you're still not able to connect to your server, you may be configuring it incorrectly. Report back in if you still have issues. -Richard Eid On Mon, Nov 24, 2008 at 12:22 PM, Ian Barr [EMAIL PROTECTED]wrote: I'm glad there's a fix for this, but if you're on the same network as the server, you have to use port forwarding/DMZ to connect to it yourself, plus it kills rcon and for some odd reason, they didn't include rcon_address in the game. ___ 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, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds

To William - you can solve the connecting problem by using +ip ... and +hostport x in the startup line. This is what I have to do to allow friends to connect, but this doesn't solve the problem of it not being detected by matchmaking. To Richard - Do you use +ip in your startup options, and what's between your server and the net? Other people can't connect unless I use the command, and that's what's causing me to have to DMZ just to connect locally, regardless of whether or not other people need it. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds

Re: [hlds] L4D Dedicated server behind NAT problems?
I would really love to see a fix for this. More than likely, however, it is not a bug, but a lack of functionality. This problem existed in all other valve games as well. What we really need is some kind of cvar that would dictate what ip address was broadcasted to the valve matchmaking system. Something like sv_broadcast_ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx would be perfect or even better, using an automated external IP detection system. The problem at the moment is that source servers, as the system presently stands, send out the IP of the NIC they use to connect to the internet to the Valve server list servers.

Re: [hlds] L4D Dedicated server behind NAT problems?
I'm seeing the same thing on one of my servers that has to use NAT. Leaving it open to the public lets people join fine, and so does using the connect command. Setting our steamgroup and having sv_steamgroup_exclusive 1 won't let anyone join from the Steam Group Servers section, it just drops them to a lobby.

Re: [hlds] L4D Dedicated server behind NAT problems?
This is a confirmed bug on steampowerd forumshttp://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=751344 - Dedicated servers behind NAT/router with local LAN IPs are unconnectable via direct 'connect'-command through console, or Steam Group Servers-list. These NATted servers can be connected via the normal matchmaking lobby. Checking the console after a failed connect reveals the cause: [L4DMM] CMatchmaking::ResolveDedicatedAddress(192.168.0.12 :27015). L4D matchmaker somehow digs up the internal IP address, instead of the external one, even if the game does connect to the correct external IP initially (console shows the external IP as well, before resolving it again to the internal one). Was present in the demo, and is still present in the full version.
