Tf2 Dedicated Server isn't showing up on Internet Server List
15 replies, posted
So I decided to try and run a dedicated server today so I could farm some gifts in the new map while people idle..
So I start up the dedicated map program, set everything to the right stuff, I test it by seeing if my friend can join and he can.
Ports are forwarded correctly and everything.
But the problem is I want my server to show up on the internet master server list so others can join by just seeing the server. But every time I put it up nothing happens.
any ideas?
(If this is the wrong section I'm sorry, please move it.)
When i make server trough game i have same problem.
People can only join trough console via ip.
Because it dosent show up in the server list.

Hmm...odd...Think it'd be worth it to put up a steam ticket?

What ports did you open?
AFAIK there's a extra set of ports that needs to be opened, so the server can communicate with the Steam Servers.
People (including me) tends to forget those ports.

That's the one needed for a Listen server (AFAIK)
[url]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/?title=Windows_Dedicated_Server_Setup#Port_Forwarding[/url]
it's a Guide for Gmod Dedi servers, but they use the same base Dedicated server files, so they should use the same ports.
In short, open port 1200 UDP to your server.

tried.
probably dump question.
Did you open the ports on the computers firewall?
Also if you can't get any help here, try the steampowered forum

or similar places.
Yes and I've tried the steam forums and have gotten no help from them.
Well SOMETHING is blocking it.
Either:
your ISP is being a dick and having your connection on a NAT network [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_address_translation[/url]
Your router is a stuck up bitch.
You have some Antivirus/firewall software that doesn't like you
Or the dedicated server files are corrupt somehow.
