Friends can't join my Counter Strike Source Server?

Question

Ok, so i've been trying this for a while, and it still isn't working. I forwarded the ports on the steam website, i closed my anti-virus, i disabled firewall on my router (i'm using a wired connection), and yet my friends still get the 'Server not Responding' error. This is really starting to annoy me.
Help please.

Answer 1

Forwarded the ports on the steam website? What do you mean? You forward ports on your router.



Anyway, did you use a tutorial to open the ports or you just winged it? Are you sending people your IP+The port? (Example: YOU.R.IP.HER.E:27015) Did you use the hlds update tool and srcds or are you running the stock Source Dedicated Server? I need some more information as to where you stand in all of this. There's many steps to opening a server, where do you stand?



Are you sending them your local IP (192.168.x.x) or your external IP? Make sure your sending them your external IP. You can easily get that by visiting: http://www.whatsmyip.org/



Did you get a server.cfg? If not, make 1 using the link below and place it in ...counter-strike source\cstrike\cfg. Make your server.cfg here: http://www.cstrike-planet.com/cfgmaker?cfg=srcds

Hope this helps!

/*

* Name your images 1.jpg, 2.jpg etc.

*

* Add this line to your page where you want the images to

* appear:

*/



// Change this to the total number of images in the folder

$total = "4";



// Change to the type of files to use eg. .jpg or .gif

$file_type = ".jpg";



// Change to the location of the folder containing the images

$image_folder = "images";



// You do not need to edit below this line



$start = "1";



$images= mt_rand($start, $total);



$image_name = $images . $file_type;



echo "";
