adding new ip's to windows 2008 server r2 standard

Post by markjc »

I have done this many times before and I just cant seem to get the box to be able to use the new ip's. They respond to pings but they will not let me run srcds nor application that controls servers.
command +ip 0.0.0.0 or -ip 0.0.0.0 fails to work on any ip since the other ip's do not seem to respond to traffic. Firewalls off or on.
The main ip works fine unless I run console as -ip or +ip .
I always get Couldn’t allocate any hltv IP port. I have tried every port as well.
I have tried everything.

If this is a Source server, "-ip x.x.x.x" is the correct way to go. You also need to make certain that you do it for all servers and not just some of them, as if you forget to do it on one server, it will bind to all IPs and prevent others from using them.

Try running this command to see what listen sockets are open and help you to determine what process is running on that IP already:

netstat -ano

Look for "UDP 0.0.0.0:27015" on the left side and use the PID on the right-hand side to find the process that it corresponds to. That process can then be examined in the task manager.

Additionally, make sure that the other IPs you have bound to the machine are responding overall by connecting to each of them directly with RDP. If you are able to log in through one of these IPs, and your old session closes, then you'll know that it is bound to the network adapter correctly. If not, you'll need to double-check its settings.

Ok I did not think about if I had one on it would make the others fail if I did not set -ip x.x.x.x .
you can use +ip or -ip as long as the - or + port is the same. Thanks
