Help with gmod server

[Nepthan]

It would seem that noone can connect to my server and, before you ask, yes I have looked up multiple guides on port forwarding for garry's mod, I have tried sv_lan 0, nothing seems to work.  I currently have the folowing ports forwarded:

TCP 27020-27039
UDP 1200
TCP 27000-27015
UDP 27015
UDP 27020

What am I doing wrong? Because I am totally sure that it is something obvious that I should shoot myself for missing.

I gues it would be the same for TF2

sv_Lan 0
IP <External IP> (do not include the ports)


No need for sv_pure 1/2

I did have people trying to connect with this code
connect <externalip>:27015  that might be it.

You do need to change the IP command if you want to host. For some reason in Gmod, I do not need to. I do in TF2 though.

[Nepthan]

It worked. :D
thx for your help.

You do need to change the IP command if you want to host.

What do you mean change the IP command?

[General Omega]

When you start TF2, it should look like this

IP LocalHost

Change it to this

IP "urIPhere"

[n0cturni]

Oh. Ok.

[Marcem]

I tried that, but the engine errors saying there is no IP specified.

[General Omega]

Has to be external and does not contain port

example for me would be this

IP 71.127.110.213

[Marcem]

Eh, I'll try again, sometime.

[n0cturni]

When you start TF2, it should look like this

IP LocalHost

Change it to this

IP "urIPhere"

This did nothing. :(

I have the following ports forwarded:

     1   Blockland    28000   28030 TCP/UDP (works great)
     2   steamds1    1200    1200   UDP
     3   steamds2    27000  27015 UDP
     4   steamds3    27020  27020 UDP
     5   steamds4    27030  27039 TCP
     6   steamds5    27015  27015 TCP

[Mr.Patrick]

try just opening 27000-27015 TCP/UDP. That's all I ever did.

For a dedicated server?
