why do i always have problems with this stuff...... :roll:

 

anyway, setting up a server(just for friends) on my new pc, couldnt get it to work with my normal ip(which is fine)

so i put "-ip25.224.109.136" at the end of the target on the shortcut, so it would use hamachi...

 

now when i try to connect(only to my server) i get "steam authorization failed".....

 

tried most of the solutions, nothing worked....

 

also for some reason, i am remembering the server.cfg having more stuff in it other than just this:

// Modern Warfare 3 Server Configuration


//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Server.cfg-configurable settings

// log files
seta g_log "games_mp.log"

// Server host name. This should always be set by the server admin.
seta sv_hostname "Sobe121's Game"

// Dedicated server play list (DSPL) specifying server map rotation.
//    Valid game options are controlled via DSR (dedicated server recipe) specified in the DSPL.
seta sv_maprotation "default"

// Maximum number of clients that may connect to this server (range 1-18)
seta sv_maxclients 16

// Server password. If set, users will be prompted on join attempt.
seta g_password ""

// Remote console password. If set, users will have access to a remote console, allowing server administration from a connected client.
seta rcon_password ""

// Server voice chat configuration ( 0 = "No Chat", 1 = "Free Chat", 2 = "Team Chat" (default) )
seta sv_voice 1

seta g_allowVote 1

seta sv_kickBanTime 100

seta sv_floodProtect 1

sv_aim 0 - Set auto-aiming for players where # is 1 for "on" and 0 for "off"

sv_cheats 1 - Set single-player cheat options where # is 1 for "enabled" and 0 for "disabled"

First, you can't use hamachi as the server's IP. The IP from wich people connect to your server has to be the same IP from wich they logged on the masterserver (and that's why you get "steam auth failed" error).

Secondly, the startup argument to select an IP is "+set net_ip x.x.x.x"

ok.....stopped the server from using my hamachi ip.....then it starts using my internal (192.168.1.192)...but people still cant connect using my external ip...so i tried "+set net_ip 76.97.235.93" in the target field...getting Steam Game Server Initialization failed when i run the server....ive forwarded the ports...

 

need more help please :|

After the server loads a map, use "net_ip" command on the server's console. It will show you the IP in use. Then, make sure that people are using that IP to connect.

It can also be a client-side issue, if their ISP uses some kind of proxy (somes ISPs do it)

when i dont use "+set net_ip" my server says it is using 192.168.1.192. but since its internal people cant connect....no matter what ip they try...

 

and i doubt its an ISP problem, cause my friends could connect last time i hosted a server.

 

could this be happening because im going through 2 routers?

Possibly...

found out some more stuff.....one of the routers is just being used as a switch, so that should not be the problem....

 

also i looked at the log for the other router, and i keep seeing these when i start up the server:

 

UPnP renew entry 255.255.255.255 <-> 10.0.0.2:50164 <-> 192.168.1.192:50164 UDP timeout:0 'Teredo'

 

UPnP added entry 255.255.255.255 <-> 10.0.0.2:27016 <-> 192.168.1.192:27016 UDP timeout:0 'DemonwarePortMapping'

Just something I forgot to ask... did you forward net_queryPort and net_masterServerPort on your router ?

Just something I forgot to ask... did you forward net_queryPort and net_masterServerPort on your router ?

i forwarded 27015,27016,27017 and just recently tried the auth port 8766

If ports are forwarded and you server is using the right network interface (maybe you should disable hamachi network interface, just to be sure) your friends should be able to see your server on the serverlist.

If your friends can see your server on the serverlist but can't connect to it, either you or them might need to synch windows time. If your friends can't even see your server on the serverlist, then you're either letting the server use the wrong network interface, or there's some problem with port forwarding.

hmm....well i guess ill try some more stuff....and will post if i have any more......notable problems
