so how could u make the server before [1st post] and now u cant well if portforwarding doesnt and setting a different port doesnt work could be firewall issue but i doubt it i dunno. its late and im going to bed lol u should ask on the steam forums

[diviqt]

i run it with out +ip

[plasmo]

so without +ip it works as normal?

u dont actually need to use +ip. thats only if u have more than 1 ip

[diviqt]

it doesnt work normally cause only i can join if its without +ip

[plasmo]

should work without +ip regardless
unless youre not port forwarded properly...
also make sure sv_lan is 0

if u can connect to your server via WAN IP not LAN IP
then it is joinable and working

cant really help you much further than that
rest is up to you if u can port forward or not

-

also just thought of why it says unable to set port
u could be setting the wrong wan ip to the +ip parameter...

do u know how to get your WAN IP?

nite

[diviqt]

if i dont use +ip only i can join cause it use LAN ip i use sv_lan 0 when i use +ip its on WAN right ? and the server cant start i get couldn't allocate dedicated server port ..
Which ports should i forward cause in portforward there is Half-life , Half-Life Steam , Half-Life Steam Server

I know my WAN ip

[plasmo]

again i will say it. u dont need to use +ip parameter in order to make the server a wan server
just turn sv_lan 0 and try to connect it thru the wan ip:port

where are you trying to 'port forward' it from? the actual router control panel or a firewall program?

i highly doubt that your router control panel would list "Half-life , Half-Life Steam , Half-Life Steam Server". looks like you're trying to do it from your firewall program or something. allowing internet access from firewall and port forwarding is a completely different thing

and im not going to help you with your port forwarding. read the manual that came with your router

[diviqt]

I use the portforward.com/routers.htm and my router is D-Link DI-624+

this is when i try to connect

connect 87.252.163.226
WARNING: UDP_OpenSocket: port: 27015 bind: WSAEADDRINUSE
NET Ports: server 27015, client 27005

and then i get Failed to contact game server

If you're creating your server at home. Some routers will not allow its LAN users to connect from its WAN(for some security issues). You have to connect with LAN ip or 127.0.0.1 for your server, and let others join your server with WAN ip or normally connect from server browser.

you should be using "connect IP:PORT" not "connect IP"
