I've been out of pocket for a while and I was able to finally test. The problem has been narrowed down to specifying the IP in the srcds startup command. If I use: "./srcds_run -console -game tf +map ctf_well +maxplayers 24 +ip 10.10.0.50"
The game server is running, live and available to connect, but it doesn't appear in the server browser for LAN games. If I paste this exact command into a windows box, it does work. Performing a test on the linux servers using: "lsof -i -n -a -p $GAMESERVPID", shows me the following: COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME srcds_lin 7645 root 22u IPv4 266289 0t0 UDP 10.10.0.50:27015 srcds_lin 7645 root 23u IPv4 266290 0t0 UDP 10.10.0.50:27005 srcds_lin 7645 root 24u IPv4 266291 0t0 UDP 10.10.0.50:27020 srcds_lin 7645 root 25u IPv4 266292 0t0 TCP 10.10.0.50:27015 (LISTEN) srcds_lin 7645 root 35u IPv4 266092 0t0 UDP 10.10.0.50:26901 This indicates to me that the srcds program is properly bonding to the specified IP in the startup command. But for some reason isn't broadcasting itself to the server browser. If I run the following srcds command: ./srcds_run -console -game tf +map ctf_well +maxplayers 24 *Note that no IP is specified for srcds to bond to... The server does appear in the browser. Performing a similar port look-up I receive: COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME srcds_lin 7689 root 22u IPv4 273770 0t0 UDP *:27015 srcds_lin 7689 root 23u IPv4 273771 0t0 UDP *:27005 srcds_lin 7689 root 24u IPv4 273772 0t0 UDP *:27020 srcds_lin 7689 root 25u IPv4 273776 0t0 TCP *:27015 (LISTEN) srcds_lin 7689 root 35u IPv4 274580 0t0 UDP *:26901 In this case, the srcds instance is bonding to the available IP on the server, but when this happens, broadcast traffic is allowed. Is there anything else I can try or suggestions anyone else has? Thanks for the help!
