Hi there!

I'm having some weird port problems with SRCDS. I'm running four CS:S servers on my machine. The servers are using the following ports: 27015, 27025, 27035 and 27040. For some reason, some of the servers wont start with the port I tell it to:

WARNING: Port 27040 was unavailable - bound to port 27041 instead
WARNING: Port 27041 was unavailable - bound to port 27042 instead
WARNING: Port 27042 was unavailable - bound to port 27043 instead

Some times, 27042 works, but mostly it skips to 27043. The weird thing, is that it has been working fine for some time, and today I installed a HLDS server with CS and port 27040 - and it worked fine. I deleted the installation and killed the HLDS process. A minute later, I ran the CS:S server (with -port 27040 in command line), and it skipped to 27042.

$ netstat -ntlp | grep 270
tcp        0      0 xx.xx.xx.xx:27043       0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      4349/srcds_linux
tcp        0      0 xx.xx.xx.xx:27015       0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      18488/srcds_linux
tcp        0      0 xx.xx.xx.xx:27026       0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      4346/srcds_linux
tcp        0      0 xx.xx.xx.xx:27035       0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      4347/srcds_linux

(as you can see, 27015 and 27035 works, but 27025 runs as 27026..)

you should have killed the hlds process and then delete installation

When i hosted servers myself, i made sure that they did not take the other server ports. So my number one server had port 27000 the next 27100 and so on. They never took another port ;)

But why is it skipping to port 27043 when 27040 isn't in use?

[ojmdk476oj]

It can be sourcetv it can be a lot of things, i remember when i was on windows i had that issue all the time.. So when i changed to Linux, i just did so there was 100 ports between them to be sure : /. So i have no idea why.

I get those also when run both dedicated server and game in same machine.

i get that sometimes, i just restart my whole box and start the 27040 server first. pain i know, but not found another way round it
