I'm running a server in the way that you mentioned People on the LAN can connect to the server and play on the server with players from the internet
There is really nothing special needed to get it running. I've just set the server up as normal for public use and I've been able to connect to it Via the LAN Does the server show up in the LAN tab on the Steam server browser? Your server will show up here not on the internet tab! Check that you have a map running other-wise the server will not show! (My mistake that caused me the headache!) Check that the client has access to the internet (suggested in the last post). Your client will need access to auth with steam and join the server successfully. You can not be given a LAN ID on an Internet server If you still don't have any success in finding the server on the browser, try adding it manually in the favourites tab of the server browser. Finally, if still no Cigar... check the IP addresses of the server and the clients. For example if your server is in the 10.0.0.0 range and the client is in the 192.168.0.0 range they might not be talking to each other. (A long shot but I've seen some strange behaviour from servers and clients in different ranges before) DarK -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Matt White Sent: 31 July 2004 18:00 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [hlds] 1.6 Lan proble Aah I see - think I misread this one... If you run the server normally and the client you want to connect from doesn't have a net connection to auth steam then im not sure if its possible. If it has a net connection you should be able to see it in the steam browser. If you don't have a net connection you could try offline mode and see whether that will let you connect. However I doubt it will let you Regards, Matt White [ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ] -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of TMTF45 Sent: 31 July 2004 17:45 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [hlds] 1.6 Lan proble Ok..so you're saying that I need to make the server insecure, and make it lan only? The server I'm running is open to the public, I just want to be able to get in on my own server via LAN, just myself no other players. So making the server insecure would be kinda futile since its open to the public, and setting it SV_LAN 1 wouldn't that make it only LAN, and not public? I was hoping that I might have to have a different port open or something to get in locally. Unlike 1.5 Won system, I had it open for public, but I was able to get in on LAN by typing the local ip of the server without making it insecure or sv_lan 1. I hope thats not the only workaround for STEAM servers, because thats kinda pointless to have a LAN tab on servers, and it won't let admins in on LAN without getting that "Invalid Steam Ticket" error. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Matt White" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, July 31, 2004 3:52 AM Subject: RE: [hlds] 1.6 Lan proble > DON'T EXIT AND LOGOUT THE CLIENTS > > Update them and then choose exit - when the pc reboots with no net > connection it cant do anything but start in offline mode. > > Make sure you set the server to insecure, nomaster 1 and sv_lan 1 this > *should* work > > Regards, > > Matt White > [ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ] > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of TMTF45 > Sent: 31 July 2004 05:33 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [hlds] 1.6 Lan proble > > Okay..here's one..I'm running a public server, and I want to get in on LAN, > but it won't let me.."Invalid Steam Ticket" error, but when I go thru my 2nd > ISP, no problems.
