Hi can anyone hook me up with a tutorial for setting up a Counter-Strike 1.6 dedicated server from behind a router?

 

:stupid:

 

thanx

Forward whatever port you want to run the server on to your computer's router-assigned IP address.

 

Start-Run->"cmd"->"ipconfig /all" and look for 'IP Address'. It's probably 192.168.1.xxx or something similar.

 

Go to your router's administration page, probably http://192.168.1.1 or something similar (check manual). Go to the port forwarding page. Forward the port you want to use (27015 is the default for HLDS) to 192.168.1.xxx for both TCP and UDP traffic.

 

For port "range", use 27015 through 27015 to forward a single port for example.

 

And then people will be able to connect to your server.

 

If you want your server to show up on the Steam server lists, there is some other port you need to forward on TCP between 27010 and 27020. I can't remember what it is right now, but you can search for it easily I'm sure. Or you could just be lazy and forward 27010-27020 on both TCP and UDP to your computer. I seriously doubt you're running any exploitable services on any of those ports, so it won't really affect your "security" at all.

your just being redundant by forwarding the port AND port range, just forward 27015 to the IP address, UDP only, youll be good to go. (HLDS or SCRDS doesnt use anything on the TCP protocol)

That is a 'private' IP address. You need to know your 'public' IP address.

 

Go to 'Start', 'Run', type in 'cmd', hit 'enter', type 'tracert www.myg0t.com'

 

copy and paste all the info here, I'll let you know what your 'public' IP address is, then we can move from there...

Like I said, you only need the 1 port, but it won't show up on the server browser. And, like I said, there's another port you have to forward on TCP for the server browser connection, and it's between 27010 and 27020. I simply forwarded the range because I'm too lazy to dig through thousands of `OMG HOW COME MY HLDS SERVER DOESNT WORK` posts on counterstrike forums by kids who don't even know what TCP is.

 

I wasn't suggesting he forward the port AND the range. :p

 

AND to get your external IP, easiest way is http://whatismyip.com
