Hi All, Having issues with connections to a local NAT server. When connecting to it locally on a local IP it should work right?
-> Reservation cookie 18401f4925df000: reason ReplyReservationRequest ---- Host_NewGame ---- Host_NewGame on map c1m1_hotel ConVarRef room_type doesn't point to an existing ConVar Executing dedicated server config file <heaps of spam> Commentary: Loading commentary data from maps/c1m1_hotel_commentary.txt. Initializing Director's script [S_API FAIL] SteamAPI_Init() failed; unable to update local steamclient. Continuing with current version anyway. Adding master server 72.165.61.136:27011 Adding master server 72.165.61.136:27014 Connection to Steam servers successful. VAC secure mode is activated. Connection on client then fails with error "Session is no longer available". In the client console, I get; ] connect 172.16.1.10:27015 Connecting to public(172.16.1.10:27015) Sending UDP connect to public IP 172.16.1.10:27015 Server using 'public' lobbies, requiring pw no, lobby id 0 RememberIPAddressForLobby: lobby 0 from address 172.16.1.10:27015 Server approved grace request... Retrying connection to 172.16.1.10:27015, server requires lobby reservation but is unreserved. Received game details information from 172.16.1.10:27015... Then nothing... after a while (I am assuming a timeout period) I get the following happening in server console; Server waking up from hibernation <spam> -> Reservation cookie 0: reason reserved(yes), clients(no), reservationexpires(0.00) Server is hibernating Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong. How can a client not connect to a simple server on the same LAN? My server startup line is; ./srcds_linux -game left4dead2 +map c1m1_hotel It's doing my head in. I suspect this is also meaning clients are unable to connect to my external IP for the same reason... _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
