Create Server Issue

(1/4) > >>

markpeterjameslegg:
It's been two weeks now, me and my brother still can't figure out how to play together on this game, we have tried everything we can find. I've also tried setting up a dedicated server and had no luck as it just doesn't work at all, the guide's just aren't specific enough and leave too many unanswered questions. It says on the title screen "Create Server", so surely when I do this my game should show up, but no matter what I do it's not in the list. I don't understand why were having all this trouble, with every other game we just connect, it's that easy. I'm losing my mind on this one now and nearing the point of giving up altogether, can someone offer any suggestions.

Im on Windows 7 (Firewall On)
I have a Siemens Gigaset SE587 WLAN dsl Router (Firewall off) :(

Proxie:
Make sure sv_lan 0 is in your listenserver.cfg inside your cfg folder.
Forward port 27015 and turn off the other firewall.

@Prox - You are turning into quite the server guru :) Keep it up buddy. :D

Also, try creating your server by going to the console and typing "map ge_archives" or whatever map you want. Doing it that way instead of doing it through the "create server" button sometimes works better and configures it to show up in the internet lobby, although sometimes it shows up with create server too. Either way, it is worth a try. So (In order) 1) Forward ports, 2) Create server by "Map ge_****", 3) sv_lan 0 4) "changelevel ge_archives" in the console

The last step of restarting/changing the level also refreshes the server to show up in the list.

Here are screenshots of my router options, i think im alright on putting the port 27015, does it go in both, or do i leave 65535 in one of them, also i don't know what to put in the Local IP area, ive tried my IP address and have also tried the router IP. There's also that DMZ menu as well, not sure that has anything to do with it.

Proxie:
you wanna make sure they are open for both tcp and udp, not exactly familiar with having to forward ports or anything because I don't have a router, wait for someone experienced to drop by like KM or something.
