I had a Garry's Mod server, on my other internet connection and it worked fine. It was port forwarded, and everyone could join it, even though my brother was also hosting a working Minecraft server at the same time. I have moved to a new connection for moving reasons, and his Minecraft server works. However, my Garry's Mod server will not work. My ip is static according to ipchicken.com, and the ports are all port forwarded, but the server does not work. Other's try to join with the not responding error.
I host it with a srcds.bat file
[code]@echo off
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.com Watchdog
:srcds
echo (%time%) srcds started.
start /wait srcds.exe -console -game garrysmod +map gm_construct +maxplayers 16 -port 27015
echo (%time%) WARNING: srcds closed or crashed, restarting.
goto srcds[/code]
I don't understand, I have 27005 as tcp and udp and then I have 27015 for udp and tcp.
So what am I doing wrong? Do I need the -connect command? If so, which ip would I use?
[b]Please help, I host a gaming group with players waiting[/b]
[b]EDIT:[/b]
Would I also have to add the other port (27005) to the -port command?
Gentleman?
It looks like your port isn't really forwarded.
Most users here on facepunch who has had this issue have been using AT&T as their ISP. AT&T is externally blocking the 27015 port, so you'd have to use another port. Go forward 27215 or something similar and update the -port param with the new value. Make sure you allow the new port in your firewall settings aswell.
If this doesn't work, there can be several other issues that's causing this. If this first method doesn't work, post back and we'll see what we can do to help you.

If I port forward 27215, won't I have to port forward another port?
What? If you forward 27215, you've forwarded 27215.

Does it need a protocol? Is it TCP/UDP?
I need more detail please.

I kindly thank you for trying to help, but instead, I deleted all the old ports, and then redid them all to udp/tcp, no protocol with 27015 to 27015 and then 27005 to 27005.
Thanks for trying to help, but since I used this method, my server works fine.
Anyone with the problem, feel free to ask me if you need help with the above.
