So I start up my server in srcds, and it starts up just fine. But when I try to get a friend to join the game, they all get the "Fail after 4 retries" error, which means they cannot connect. How do I fix this?
Make sure port 27015 is opened (if that's the port you are using) and make sure that windows firewall is not blocking the program.
If you go to [url]http://canyouseeme.org[/url] and you enter the port 27015 you can see if its open.
If the port is not open go to your router and add the port in port forwarding else its your firewall

That website is not reliable and will show the port closed even if it is actually open.
For me it always works
Seems like it's closed, how do I add a port to my router though?

If you google how to make a gmod server almost all the videos will show you how to port forward however some may say its easy however i have had so much trouble and gave up.. its pretty much up to your router.. but yeah just google it
If you go to your gateway its: 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.1.0 here you have to login to your router. If its not working open CMD on your server and typt in ipconfig. Here you see your ip addres and your gateway.
[CODE] portqry <hostip> tcp -e 27015 [/CODE]
Done from muscle memory, not entirely sure if the command line is correct. But yeah this is using portqry within windows.
Edit: You can change tcp to udp and vice-versa.
