Hi everyone,

My l4d2 servers were running fine but after a machine restart (ubuntu 16.04) I can't start my servers if I set +ip in the start command.

I mean, if I remove public IP from start command the server starts normally. I'm sure that I put the right IP. I just don't get it why this issue has started after restarting the host.
For me it is just fine, but after removing +ip, gameme rank stopped working.

Make sure the IP and port is available and ready to use.

You can check your ip with one of the following commands:

ifconfig -a
ip a

Oh and replace +ip with -ip

Yep, when I start the server without -ip, it goes to the IP that i tried in start command. It just does not accept it in start command.

I tried -ip +ip.

The issue has started after a linux reboot. Nothing changed.

-ip is correct, if you're unable to bind to the address it's probably because it's an invalid address.
Check to make sure it's the correct one, it should be 192.168.0.2 based on your output. Also try with another port to test to see if something is bound to that port.
