Problems Creating a simple(not dedicated) server
« on: July 30, 2012, 02:15:03 pm »

Hello people,
I've been trying to create a server from the Create Server option(main menu) and I got some trouble inviting some friends to join me.
I create the server,then sv_lan 0 and yet when I invite them they get an error message saying "server not repsonding".
I tried net_start and I can see that as the default server ip my LAN ip(192.168.x.x) is listed,so I changed with the command: ip myiphere:randomporthere. They still can't connect!
If i change my ip and then try to use net_start the game crashes with an engine error saying: Couldn't allocate IP port.
I pretty much tried anything that I know of(sv_region 3, changelevel often etc.) and couldn't solve this out.
Do you guys have any ideas ?
Also,my wan ip has DMZ on my router so I don't think thats a problem....

Try changing level straight after switching sv_lan to 0, it usually works. If that fails find out your internet IP address (not LAN) and tell them to use this command:

connect x.x.x.x

Don't include the port.

We've fixed up the create server options in 4.2 so that you can launch a net game without needing to mess about with commands.

Hey Mangley,
Thanks for the quick answer but it seems that I come up with a different problem this time.
When i just use sv_lan 0 then change map and tell my friends to join me by using connect my.ip.adress.here, it starts connecting but then comes up with an error saying; "Connection has failed after four retries".
From what I understand this has to be something with my ports/firewall?
I got my routers firewall turned off and my lan ip DMZ.
Which ports should I forward btw ?
Thanks

I tried with the new version (4.2) and the same thing still happens!
For some odd reason the server keeps broadcasting my LAN ip and NOT my WAN...
I don't have the same problem with any other Source game....

You might have to start the dedicated server with the following command:

+ip [your LAN ip]

seems a little backwards, but sometimes the server latches onto your localhost IP, which will cause it to loopback instead of broadcasting through your Router.

I try to create a local server,not a dedicated.
Whenever i change my ip by the command ip my.ip.here or launch the game with -ip my.ip.here and try to create the server the game crashes with the error: Couldn't allocate IP port.
