Hi guys, I just had a few questions about running Dedicated Servers for iw5m. I myself run servers for both counterstrike:source, cs:go, and garry's mod so I like to think i'm fairly competent at setting up a dedicated server. However, this does not seem to be the case for me with iw5m. I'm able to run the server and it all loads without a hitch. I setup the cfg files correctly, I set the parameters for the target correctly, and I port forwarded all the ports correctly. However when I go to the server browser I cannot find my server, yet when I go into the console and type connect 192.168.x.x:27015 i'm easily able to connect to my server. So now i'm stuck as to what I need to do so I can see my server in the list. I'll post some screenshots of the console, and my ports, and server.cfg to see if you guys can spot the problem. Thank you.

I also attached a picture of my ports forwarded since I cannot post URL's yet????

 

 

Any and all help will/is greatly appreciated. Thank you again.

The reason you can't see you server in the 'Server List' is because your router might not be able to query your own IP Address.

Ask a friend if you server is visible in the server list.

you have to stop any firewall

try this
