If I remember correctly you are using CS 1.6, right? I've never used that version but with hlds_l 3.1.1.1 and CS 1.5 the only port I remember forwarding was 27015 (UDP). There may have been more though. I knew 27015 was the most important one so I started there and tried as few as possible additional ones until I got it to work, trying ports mentioned on various web sites. Below is a list of quotes I found on my hard drive after all these years (sorry for the length, and sorry to not know the sources any more). Don't bother with the WON ports (6003, 700[12]), those should be history. Instead, start from the bottom of the list (those would be the most "recent" quotes). Gebi

Are those incoming or outgoing? What about 7002, 27011 and 27012 mentioned in the hlds-firewall how-to? Nobody ever talks about direction on these firewall rules. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- I dont' now either if it's out going or incoming, but I forward 27015, 27005, and 27010 thru my router. The other ports you mentioned are associated with chat rooms and such.. wait, I got an explanation of this..... SUGGESTED SOLUTION: At 02/21/2001 06:06 PM we wrote - In order to play an internet game you (or your network administrator) will need to open a few ports. Open TCP ports 6003 and 7001, these are used for authentication and server lists. Most game servers use UDP ports 27005, 27010, 27015. Some will use others within 27000- 27050. The permanent chat rooms use TCP ports 19000- 19012 while the temporary rooms use 19013- 19500. Please note, these are the ports which are currently being used, but this is subject to change. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Q: What open ports my firewall needs for steam to work? (#6) A: If you use a router these ports must be open in order for steam to work correctly. UDP 1200 UDP 27000 to 27015 TCP 27030 to 27039 Computers running Dedicated Servers need these ports open: UDP: 27015 and 27020 (default HLDS port) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Counter-Strike Start Port: 27005 End Port: 27025 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- TCP 7002 out TCP 5273 out UDP 27010 out UDP 27012 in and out UDP 27015 in (if your server runs on this port) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Client ====== TCP 6003: Outgoing connectivity to this port on remote destinations. Used for chat in the HL browser. UDP 27011: Outgoing connectivity to this port on remote destinations. Used for the 'custom game' mod browser. UDP 27005: Incoming connectivity to this port (or whatever port the client has changed this to, if not using the default). Used for game traffic (including voice) between client and server. Server ====== TCP 7002: Outgoing connectivity to this port on remote destinations. Used for WON auth. UDP 27010: Outgoing connectivity to this port on remote destinations. Used for advertising a server on the master lists for server browsers. UDP 27011: Communicating with the BanList Server from YOUR Server. Was formerly 27013 - much in/out traffic too UDP 27015: Incoming connectivity to this port (or whatever port the server had been changed to, if not the default). Used for all client/server game traffic (including voice), server info requests, etc. HLTV ==== TCP 7002: Outgoing connectivity to this port on remote destinations. Used for WON auth. UDP 27010: Outgoing connectivity to this port on remote destinations. Used for advertising a server on the master lists for server browsers. UDP 27020: Incoming connectivity to this port (or whatever port the server had been changed to, if not the default). Used for all client/server game traffic (including voice), server info requests, etc. And also: TCP 5273: for validating Steam client IDs, and 27012 UDP is for security modules (CS-only right now). Steam - CS 1.6 =========== UDP 1200 UDP 27000 to 27015 inclusive TCP 27030 to 27039 inclusive -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: "Flaming Maniac" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Gesendet: 22.06.08 02:53:17 An: "Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list" <[email protected]> Betreff: Re: [hlds_linux] Cannot see server in browser Okay, an update. I tried the server in a DMZ and everyone was able to connect, so I *know *it must be a port forwarding issue. I have scoured the internet for every port that anyone has mentioned might be needed in addition to the official ports, so does anyone have a comprehensive list somewhere? Otherwise I guess I have to do trial and error with port ranges or something. :( Thanks for all your help, Ray [...] _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
