VDS Server 1.6

[Wingnut]

I accessed my vnc console and used this tutorial (http://www.nfoservers.com/forums/viewto ... =67&t=4021) to set up my servers. After i click on the hlds.exe and check everything, its shows that its successfully running, the ip is correct, shows current map with 0/32 players it shows even that when a round ends the cts win cause no bomb has been planted, but when i put that ip into my steam server favorites it says not responding and if i try just connect xx.xx.xx.xx in console it doesnt connect, i pinged the server ip from my computer and it pinged just fine, the windows firewall on the server clearly shows that its off, i followed all the instructions to a t and the server doesnt work like its supposed to, please someone help

Is it running on the correct port? What is the exact output for the "status" command?

[Wingnut]

THERE IS NO MENTION OF ANY PORT NUMBER ON UR GUIDE

[Edge100x]

Correct, there is no mention of a port number, and as a result, it would normally run on the default port -- but we need to double-check that it is behaving properly. I asked for the "status" output so that we can see this. I also need to see the IP and port, so that I can try to connect and look for more information through my client.

[Wingnut]

default port for cs is 27015, i made two servers to see if it was right, one is on 27015 the other 27016, and it shows those on both hlds files, so why do you need the status, cause my word isnt good enough?

Hostname: BUSTED MOTHER
version : 48/1.1.2.6 5758 secure (10)
tcp/ip : 74.91.122.170.27016
map : de_dust at:0 x, 0 y, 0 z
players 0 activate (29 max)

This is a strange question for you to ask, because I just explained why, and the reasons were sound.

All of my tests are definitely showing that nothing is responding at 74.91.122.170:27016

It also appears that you manually typed that output instead of copying and pasting it. Please double-check to see if it actually says "74.91.122.170.27016", as that would be invalid.

Do you have any rules defined through the "Firewall" page of your control panel? Are you connecting through remote desktop to 74.91.122.170, with remote desktop working normally?

[Wingnut]

of course i typed it out, im using a remote desktop, you cant copy and paste it to another computer, im on this forum using my personal computer not the server one, there are no rules for the firewall tab, i havent touched anything other then what that guide said to do, and ive said this before, apparently people dont listen, im using the vnc console section of ur site and its working normally, if i misstyped the ip with a period instead of a colon, then my bad, but thats no reason to have me check it again, i know what it says, ill even take a ss of it, link of ss http://www.mediafire.com/?3evgooyzxd7jovn

Remote desktop allows copy and paste between the remote machine and the local machine and I use the feature frequently. It is very useful. I do not recommend using VNC unless you become locked out of remote desktop or need to access the console during the boot-up process.

You have changed at least the server name since you downloaded the files, according to your quote. Have you tried with completely fresh, blank-slate files from Valve, downloaded to a new folder, without touching them at all?

[Wingnut]

if there is a copy and paste feature i have no idea where it is, and yes its from a completely untouched fresh blank state from valve, no i didnt change the name, i had a friend type it out, he chose to put the busted mother instead of the actual server name, cause he was typing it out and didnt want to type it all out, he couldnt find the copy and paste feature either

You can also add your local drive's on your PC to the RDC through Options>Local Resources>More and then you will see drives. Then you will see your local PC drives in the terminal session for file sharing.

I am the other person who was working on the server with him, the BUSTED MOTHERS was a brand new fresh install that I did (which was downloaded and installed into a completly different folder and everything) I did for get to make the : before the port number all the information it showed was
Hostname: BUSTED MOTHER
version : 48/1.1.2.6 5758 secure (10)
tcp/ip : 74.91.122.170:27016
map : de_dust at:0 x, 0 y, 0 z
players 0 activate (29 max)


Other things that had be done is (as of right now the windows firewall is disabled completly)
before it was disabled I added the UDP ports to be allowed and everything, and when that didnt work the firewall is disabled.

I cant do port forwarding since that would be done on a router you guys are using and I dont have access to this, unless for the firewall you have another managed one in the background that is not allowing ports to go through. Even in HLDS i made sure the command sv_lan 0 was enabled so lan would not be activate

I will attempt to reproduce this later today and see if I can find a problem with Valve's files.

I just tested this and it worked properly for me. The steps I took:

1. Installed Windows 2008 R2.
2. Logged in through Remote Desktop.
3. Opened a command-prompt window.
4. Ran these commands:

cd\game installs
hldsupdatetool
hldsupdatetool -game cstrike -command update -dir test
cd test
hlds.exe -game cstrike +ip x.x.x.x +maxplayers 20 -debug -console -nocrashdialog

5. Added the server to my favorites list and connected normally.

Are these the steps that you also followed, in testing a fresh install?
