So, a couple of days ago I tried to create my own GMOD dedicated server 4 me and friends to play some TiTT on. I have set up all the starting files and configs (see below), forwarded ports and even set up a static local IP. The problem is, well, my friends and even (in some cases) me can't join. I think I tried about everything there is to try and dug trough the whole internet, but I just can't find anything. We just time out. The peculiar thing is, I can see and join my server trough the LAN tab (in both the new and old server viewer), but when I try my external or internal IP (with ot without ports) I can't. My friends have a similar situation - everything is the same, except they can't see my server in the LAN tab (who would have known!?). This is why I come to you for help.
starting batch file:
start /wait srcds.exe -console -game garrysmod +map ttt_minecraft_b5 +maxplayers 8 +gamemode terrortown +host_workshop_collection *** -authkey *** +sv_setsteamaccount *** +ip 192.168.8.125

Firewall both in the router and Windows (10) disabled.
Before that, I added an inbound rule for those ports
I've set a static local IP in my ethernet adapter settings
You don't need a dedicated server for that. Just open "start new game" in main menu, select amount of players, select Peer-To-Peer: Friends Only, start a new game and invite your friends and it should work.
Yes, I know, but:
I don't want any addon problems we had, or to resolve them in a way like downloading another addon that makes others download addons (I wouldn't like to disable all of my addons every single time)
I, honestly, would just like to play with a dedicated server and see what is it all about - isn't that what Garry's mod is about?
Btw. Thanks for the reply
Pleas MARK this: You need to check your router and what it are connected to, if its connected to another router your doomed. If you have fiber or direct line, then you can host server.
My dedicated server can be hosted with no issues, these are mine settings:
Local firewall: Open srcds, but try by disable it but NEVER host with open firewall.
My BAT:
@echo off
cd D:\gmodserver\server\
cls
echo Protecting srcds from crashes...
echo If you want to close srcds and this script, close the srcds window and type Y depending on your language followed by Enter.
title srcds
echo srcds started.
start srcds.exe -console -game "garrysmod" +exec "server.cfg" +map gm_flatgrass +maxplayers 32 +gamemode darkrp

I don't think I'm actually behind more than one router... My connection is set up in this fashion: Huwaei B525 wireless router -> my PC (connected trough a cable). Nothing else.
bump.
Did you try out my settings for port-forwarding?
