Alright, heres my problem. Im trying to start up my listen server. i Had it running a long time ago and now im trying it out and it doesnt work. I remember you need to foward 27015 on TCP, i do so, and no effect. My friend has been testing it with me, apparently, when he tries to join through steam, it says "Server not responding", if he tries the "connect" command it simply says "connection failed after 4 retries". I need some help here guys. Some info...
ATT Router
Hamachi network
dude0123456789 / Takahiro Takumi on steam
Dont suggest a dedicated server cause that isnt gonna work out for me. BTW, ive been using my external IP to let them join, or TRY to join, and nothing, just "server not responding". I need help ASAP.
Erhm. If you are using Hamachi you are supposed to give them your ipv4 adress. This stands by your name in the main window of Hamachi. Send it to them and ask them to connect to it, then it should work. If it doesn't work to connect to it via Steam friends or the normal menu tell them to get console and write connect INSERTYOURIPV4IPHERE
You should use srcds for your garry's mod server and should have hamachi installed on that machine, you should probably also use the Hamachi IP of that machine as the IP in the command line in order to get it working. I'm not quite sure, but i think that's how I got it working once.
Ah, im not trying to do it with hamachi, im trying to do it normally, so anyone can join, i was just saying that because hamachi effects the network so it might change the answer, i want a normal listen server and Tessius, i said "dont suggest a dedicated serv" -_-, read people.

More info, this is what i get when i type status in the console when im in the server.
hostname: Epic Public Sandbox
version : 1.0.33.0/21 4909 secure
udp/ip : 192.168.1.25:27016 (public ip: 99.169.4.255)
map : gm_flatgrass at: 959 x, 148 y, 95 z

Before you can start your server, you have to have certain ports forwarded on your router.
You must first obtain you internal IP Address by pressing Start/Run then type in cmd then press enter.
A little black box will open up. In it, type ipconfig. Look for the item that is called Default Gateway and write down the number across from it.
Then find IPv4 Address and write that down. You can then close cmd by typing exit and pressing enter.
1.Go into your browser and type in your Default Gateway number into the address bar. (make sure to include the periods)
2.Enter in your router's username and password. If you do not know these, then you can contact whoever handles the router and they can tell you. (Parents, Boss, etc..)
3.Go to the menu area for Port Forwarding/Port Triggering
4.Open these ports:
PROTOCOL / INBOUND / OUTBOUND
UDP 1200 1200
UDP 26901 26901 (This will allow the server to show up on the master server list.)
UDP 27000 27015
TCP 27020 27039
UDP 27015 27015 (you may not be able to open this one, but it is suggested that you try)
UDP 27020 27020
TCP 27015 27015

That's probably the reason why your friend can't connect to your server, and it's 99% of peoples problem's with starting servers in general.
