Now for some reason, people can join my listen server easy, but when I host my dedicated server no one can join, im hosting on the same pc btw
If you want to ask why I want to make a dedicated if listen works, it's because I'd rather not go through 780 addons and enable 10 of them just to host a server ok? Also wouldn't like to edit all those settings when I can have a server.cfg!
Actiontec V2200H is my router
Also im using Telus
Yes lan is off
Can you please post your command line on how you are starting the dedicated server
[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 +gamemode terrortown +map "ttt_minecraft_b5" +maxplayers 32 +host_workshop_collection 730424922 -authkey
echo (%time%) WARNING: srcds closed or crashed, restarting.
goto srcds[/CODE]
I'm using a run.bat
I suggest you edit your post and remove -authkey its kinda a private thing.
can you add -condebug to your command line start your server then navigate to your garrysmod DS folder and paste the contents of the console.log here please.
Also I suggest running the server. Going to can you see me ([url]http://www.canyouseeme.org/[/url]) putting in the port 27015 and checking to see if the port is available to the internet.
Also check that windows firewall is accepting the program or just turn it off.
Says connection timed out
it's weird cause don't listen servers need that port too?
Listen Servers uses UPnP DS servers run through ports so you have to make sure you have port forwarded 27015
The Ports 27000/27050 are port forwarded for tcp and udp on my static ip :P
Force the port with -port 27105 and paste the console.log please.
I ran it, everything seems fine
where to get console log?
in the garrysmod folder which should look like this

[/CODE]
Is that all you get from Console.log
yes, the rest is just the addons and gamemode stuff
[code] srcds.exe -console -game garrysmod -maxplayers 32 -ip YOURIP -port 27015 +gamemode terrortown +map "ttt_minecraft_b5" +host_workshop_collection 730424922 -authkey [/code]
Try forcing the server to bind to your external IP
ok it says
Couldn't allocate server ip port
try change -port to 27016
Same thing, also tried 27050
Sorry, I thought it was a port issue. Its from you having a local IP trying to bind an External IP. Remove the -IP in your command line and try again
ok now it's working again
[QUOTE=DerfStew;50765924]Listen Servers uses UPnP DS servers run through ports so you have to make sure you have port forwarded 27015[/QUOTE]
The reason why people can join his listen server is because one of the recent gmod patches introduced support for Steam P2P, which allows people without forwarded ports or UPnP to host servers.
To OP: you need to double check that your ports are forwarded and that your DS uses one of the forwarded ports.
Also make sure that your firewall (especially if you are running windows - windows firewall can cause a lot of headache) is disabled or allows the server process to communicate with the internet. Also, make sure that your ports aren't blocked by the firewall either.
I've turned off my windows firewall, I'll have my friend try joining when he gets on
Thank you guys for the help, it appears the problem was fixed, :P <3
