Okay so ive been through the deticated server tutorial, i have done everything but it wont show up in the list, So i went and port fowarded through router and firewall, and when i check the ports they are still closed? Why?

This is where you'll find the most information about port forwarding:

A sure fire way to guarantee successful port forwarding is to assign yourself a static IP, with you can do somewheres in your network settings editing IPv6.

Make sure you port forward the ports your game server is hosted on, and lastly, make sure the port is forwarded onTCP and UDP.

Make sure you port forward the ports your game server is hosted on, and lastly, make sure the port is forwarded on TCP and UDP or w.e the other one is called.

An even easier option it to assing the computer's (IPv4) address as the DMZ host (if the router has that option)

There are some more ports you need to forward.

Do you know which ones they are?

oops...

These are the default ports, yours might be different.

 

27017 (server browser port, try this first), 8766, 27016, 27015

 

Or just type these in console to see what your are:

net_masterServerPort
net_authPort
net_port
net_queryPor

Errr... IW4M section...

IW4M servers only use net_port (and if people can connect using the external IP, then it's forwarded)

So if they are fowarded, then how do i get it too show up in the browser?

It should show up in the browser. Atleast for your firends.

It's known that many routers can't handle a query on it's own IP, so it's possible that it will never show up for you.

My mate can't see it in server browser either though :\ its not just me that can't.

Type

sv_hostname

command on the server's console, to confirm the server's name and make sure that your friend is searching for the right server.

Yeah hes looking for the right one :\ could you try ave a look for it? Its [DMND] Trickshot Server | All Nice
