Really dumb CS question

[Monel Funkawitz]

When you create a Counter Strike server, its your.ip.here:27015 right?

I wanted to game with one of my coworkers, and I'll be damned if I can figure out why we can't connect. I've tried everything.

 

[Danman]

Yes. That is the default port it is set at.

 

[Monel Funkawitz]

I thought so. I got my IP from winipcfg. Nothing. He created a server and got his IP, I tried his ip:27015, and nothing. I can't connect. Its like its not there. I had other people try, and no one can connect.

This is pissin me off.... arghhhh

either of you behind a router/firewall?

Make sure you're not using an internal IP, or that don't have a firewall that's blockin connections. Also, FYI you don't need to add 27015 after the IP because it's default and it assumes that that is the port.

 

[Pretender]

make sure your firewall isn't screwing it up.

Before you ask, I don't remember what ports CS servers use (other than 27015, they might open a few others), so just disable it completely for a few minutes.

enable DMZ on your firewall. If it works, remember to turn it back on after you are done playing.

 

[ZeroBurn]

set the port to 27016 to make it more private, and check all your protocols.

Not 100% sure here, but I think that the server uses a different port. Maybe 27010 if I remember correctly.
