My server is on LAN but I want it to appear on the Internet

[ZenStarStudio]

Thank you for opening this thread I need help with my server.Here is exactly what I did to get it running
1.I downloaded HLDSUpdatetool.
2.I made all the files go in C;/srcds
3.I followed all directions for downloading the gmod files in srcds/orangebox
4.I port forwarded 27015 TCP UDP
5.It's firewall allows traffic
6.I tested and only I could join.
7.I found it on LAN
8.And now im posting this
So guys what did I forget
Thanks for reading and
special thanks for those who wants to help.
:dance::dance::dance::dance::dance:
UPDATE
I disabled firewall on port 27015 UDP and TCP
but still on lan ps I already set it on sv_la 0
here this could help its the properties for my srcds shortcut
C:\srcds\orangebox\srcds.exe -console -game garrysmod -ip 192.168.0.102 +maxplayers 24 +port 27015 +map gm_constuct

Set "sv_lan 0" in server.cfg.

Also you will ALWAYS find a server behind a firewall using a local IP. If you port forward, you can still give everyone else the external address.

[JetSnail]

In english ( if you don't understand what he said >_>)

Your firewall will block alot of your server connections. Your MOST recommended to port forward.
Portfoward will allow other players to join your server. But yeah, set "sv_lan 9" in the server console.

No, not 9, 0.

I'd rather not make a new thread since theirs one with a similar problem present already. sv_lan 0, running on DMZ, yet it still only allows clients to join via LAN. If IP is specified in start as the WAN ip, I get "Couldn't allocate any server IP port."

I'm able to run L4D2, CSS, TF2 servers now problem, garrysmod is the only thats given me this trouble. Any help?

Edit: Got it to work by leaving the IP and port setting as default. I feel stupid now.

[unwarry1]

I just setup another dedicated server and it was showing up under the LAN tab and not the internet tab.

I than ran my previous dedicated server which worked yesterday, and as soon as i ran it, steam downloaded an update and installed it.

Now my server that worked before is doing the exact same thing as the new server, which leads me to believe its steams doing.

Please try to help instead bickering.
Some of us actually have Network + .

I have a cisco 1721 vpn/k9 router with a WIC-2 card installed, the ports 27005 through 27015 are all being forwarded to the static ip address of my server, which is set on it's own DMZ with QOS at the highest priority.

Network address translation, network load balancing, and frameburst have always been off.
And is set to use CDMA/CA and Tcp/Ip.
Wins has been configured to be hosted on the server, and DNS has been configured to use the ISP's, since the entire network is being redesigned.

The dedicated server worked before and nothing has changed in the configuration except for an update to the steam program itself, and now it doesn't work.

We are tryinng to get our servers to show up in the internet tab of steam not the LAN tab so that other players can see our system and connect to it.

Just because you passed some class doesn't make you smarter in the matter, I personally have never taken a single computer related class except computer tech which covered Microsoft Word and the exciting topics of using google correctly(still wrong anyways) and the advanced subject of Microsoft Excel. Yet, I am more proficient in computer fields than people who have some certificate or studied whatever. Just because you know a subject inside and out does not make you knowledgeable of how to use it. Your problem is that you probably overlooked things like what IP the server its self is using (specify it with +ip) or that you have something as simple as windows firewall on. Other problems can be various settings in your router that filter traffic in any sort of way. If nothing in your router has changed, it's the computer or srcds.

Agreed, just because you have the certification doesn't mean you know how it works.
Network + goes over the basics but the most information I ever learned was just tryinng to setup my own network.

But to stay on topic, I'm actually crazy and have no firewall or antivirus on this server :).
I have checked all the settings on the router even ones that don't apply ( and going as far as to replace the router with a linksys wrt54g2 ), but still no results.

Since I am so new to srcds, and that I have checked every possible network setting I believe that the problem lies with my idiocy of srcds.

I will be deleteing the entire dedicated server and set the entire thing back up again to see if I missed a something.

If I find the fix, I will post it here for others to try.

[Slayer3032]

Make sure Windows Firewall isn't on, sometimes after updates the OS likes to turn it on.

As well as that, remember to double, triple and quadruple check your router for any sort of connection filtering method.

If that still refuses to work, make sure the IP is specified in the command line as I said before. (+ip x.x.x.x)

If none of those work, I suggest trying to use another computer on the connection if possible.

When all the above and everything you can think of fails you're just screwed.

Okay, to use your external address, go to [URL="http://www.whatismyip.com"]www.whatismyip.com[/URL] and add :27015 to the end of the address, eg. mine is 123.2.182.53 so, I would make it 123.2.182.53:27015. And tell friends to connect via that address, not to go to 'View Game Info' as it tries to connect to the dynamic ip. And users browsing it will see it in internet list, just not you because it sees the server as [insert dynamic address here] instead of the static, but others will see static ip.. I hope I helped..

Hmmm, still no results.
Even after deleting the dedicated server and recreating it.
