home hosted server problem


(Domagoj) #1

Hello im trying to make a home hosted server, but seems like im out of luck, Ive setup it all nd it works, but its only being shown on my local list and only I can join it, I think its problem with port, ive router zyxel prestige 600 series, this is how it looks port thing, 27960 should be a port for ET, but when I go to check online if is opened says it isnt, im really getting out of idea why is not working.hope some of you guys can help me.

cheers.

Hello

Did you forward the 27960 port between your IP router and your IPserver ?

Another thing: do not specify net_ip neither net_port in your cfg, it will be set by default.

But of course you must have : set dedicated 2

Try it !

hey, i tried this, putting IP on portforward which ive found on what is my ip, and Ive tried putting 192.168.1.50 which is my IP also, and i remove net_ip and net_port, and ofc ive got dedi 2 set, but still isnt shown :confused:

and cant connect on it either…

I remember when I tried so that 192. is the IP that only the server local hoster can join, and that your online IP that users have to use to join is different, or the inverse. Check a website that gives your IP for this :slight_smile:

Edit:
Yes, 192. is the local IP.

sv_master 1 bla bla

Wasn’t it just a string you must set there (string with address of masterserver) ?

A comon problem though is that empty servers are not shown with a 2.6b client. You might check that.

If you are totally not sure about anything, you could always use my tool (shameless selfpromotion ^^) to get masterserver information, or, and really more simple, is to use schnoogs service, which can be found here => http://wolffiles.de/services/masterlist/
