We are having a similar issue, although this seems to speak more towards the overall design of the game.
One of my clan mates hosts the server at his home. I seem to be unable to configure the server into allowing him to join. Start Command Line: ./srcds_run \ -game left4dead \ +ip 192.168.1.251 \ +port 27015 \ +hostname "Khuh Left 4 Dead Demo Server" \ +map l4d_dem_hospital01_apartment \ -fork 4 Server.cfg: sv_allow_lobby_connect_only 0 sv_search_key Redacted rcon_password "redacted" sv_alltalk 1 z_difficulty impossible Ok, I know this is a well known issue for players both hosting and joining from behind a firewall. In CS:S for instance one just adds the server using its internal IP to the browser favorites and joins that way. After he failed to connect when we launched from the lobby, we all remembered this fact (one failing of the lobby system) and had him try using the server browser. No Joy. I thought perhaps it was a DNS issue combined with the firewall. We added a hosts entry on his computer so the server host name would resolve to the internal IP. However now he still cannot connect as he gets the "Server is reserved only for members of the joining lobby". He can join other forks however, just not the fork we are connected to. The game we are on was launched through the lobby. I disconnected from the game and I was able to connect through the server browser from outside his firewall. I didn't receive the same error message. We tried having him add the sv_search_key keyword, that didn't change the results. Any ideas? Joseph Laws wrote: > Same here.
