yea... i have Zone Alarm... but im lost how that could be the cause X_x

[FrozenWire]

First off, does it work without metamod/AMXX?

[darkamikaze]

yea.. it works with just normal mp.dll

and ppl could join fine.. but now

since its running on addons\bla bla bla

it works properly.. amxx and metamod..

its just that no one can join my server X-x

your server goes up right? it doesn't crash on startup?

[darkamikaze]

nope EVERYTHING is great and working

except that no one can join my server X_x

most obviously try quitting zone alarm, restarting steam, then launching the server again to see if it works (sometimes zone alarm blocks things when you swear it shouldnt; I'm an expert computer user and even then zone alarm boggles my mind for some programs). If that doesnt work, make sure your giving people the correct IP. The IP shown in status is your LAN ip from your router and people from the internet shouldnt' be connecting to it. However, I've hosted a dedicated server from behind a router and I had to enable port forwarding on my router in order to get people to join my server. I think port forwarding takes incoming connecting requests to your router and forwards them to the IP you specify, otherwise your router things some dumbtard is trying to hack you and just blocks the connection attempt.

hm =\ okay...

[Ingram]

he said he didn't have a router, but i guess he should try disabling zone alarm

oh well I guess I should read a post instead of skimming through it next time I reply

[darkamikaze]

i dont get it though... why would Zone Alarm block my server when it never did it before .... it ran perfect on mp.dll and ppl could join

why isnt it allowing it this time? X-x

and i havent tried disabling it.. cause im scared of trojans o_o
