Portforwarding

[HuntTheShunt]

Hi guys,
How do I test if portforwarding is working?
I can ping my public IP from another pc on the same network that the router is connected to.
But how do I test if 27005 to 27015 is open/visible to CS players?

When looking in EYE the public ip is not visible but the local one is.

Thanks.

You can test forwarded port with a port scanner.
Just let it scan for port 27005 to 27015. You can not do this from your own lan/computer but has to be done from an outside connection.
(here you can find a port scanner)
However I almost know for sure that you need to open more ports for steam CS.

A quick search on google told me this:
ports to open:
tcp 6003, 7002
udp 27005, 27010, 27011, 27015, 27020

personally to play & run a server all I have open on my router (other than other applications) is port
27015 to 27015 Both (FYI the ip set for this one is 192.168.1.101 [the local port of the server])
7130 to 7130 Both (FYI the ip set for this one is 192.168.1.100 [the local port of my computer])

HuntTheShunt what router do you have?
If you can't get the ports to open because people are not joining.
Try these links
http://www.ladt.us/servers/hldsrouter.htm
Steampowered FAQ: Which ports to open

Also you need to put in the Server.cfg or Listenserver.cfg:

// Must specify sv_region, or it won't show up in Steam server browser
// 0: US East coast
// 1: US West coast
// 2: South America
// 3: Europe
// 4: Asia
// 5: Australia
// 6: Middle East
// 7: Africa
// 255: World
sv_region 0
sv_lan 0

and this will put your server online.

Hi Guys,

Thanks to all the help on this forum I started again trying to get this port warding stuff to work.

After spending a day on this I’m still stuck ;(



Thanks to Cpl.Shrike I know for sure that my ports are not open.

Robbob4 has pointed out that other ports are used by HLDS so I now open all ports!

Jeffrccar:- the my router is Billion 5100.



But the ports stay shut.



I’ve set my router up using http://www.portforward.com/billion/bipac-5100w-dhcp.htm



LAN - Setup



DHCP



DHCP

ServerNoneRelay





Client IP Pool Starting Address







Size of Client IP Pool







Primary DNS Server







Secondary DNS Server







Remote DHCP Server







TCP/IP



IP Address







IP Subnet Mask







RIP Direction

NoneBothIn OnlyOut Only





RIP Version

RIP-1RIP-2BRIP-2MN/A





Multicast

IGMP-v1IGMP-v2None







I now wonder if I have blocked them off somehow?

Could I have blocked them? I did go to http://www.grc.com/ and close a lot of loop holes in my system. If so how do I open them back up.

I have XP but I am not using the xp firewall.

I use kerio and Norton for firewall stuff both of these are turned of for testing the ports.



Any more ideas guys?
