Steam page to test ports???? What is that? I am not aware of that. There servers really do need NOTHING special to work.
When you go to http://www.whatismyip.org/ what is your ip address? Also what is the name of your server so you can check for it on www.gametiger.net ? If the ports are open and the server is running properly and it is seto to sv_lan 0 then they should work. But you might also check to make sure you have the sv_region set properly. http://tinyurl.com/h35as All the resources you need are located in the steampowered support area. http://tinyurl.com/koh6s Please check the very first 4 results from this search. If you have already looked at them I suggest you look at them again and then verify them and maybe look at them and verify them again. Triple check them. Because these are all you need. -Scott > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of gerald > Sent: Friday, October 06, 2006 2:01 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: Re: [hlds] Unable to HOSt because.. > > @DlinkOz > here is a screenshot of the Steam page to Test Ports as you > can see I passed > so the ports are open and it is NOT a PF Problem if it was > that simple I > could solve it!! > > THNX Gerald > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "DLinkOZ" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[email protected]> > Sent: Friday, October 06, 2006 1:09 PM > Subject: RE: Re: [hlds] Unable to HOSt because.. > > > >I may have missed it, but what forwarding rules exactly have > you put in > > place?
