hi guys for some reason i can thost servers with my freind i dont no why
so if you guys could help me plz :x
 
Whats happening is your bios is causing a confloct with your network cards irq, resulting in a resonance casscade, which is presumably causing whatever the hell your problem is.

Seriously, how are we supposed to help you if you don't even tell us what the problem is? We need to know, exactly what you are trying to do, where it goes wrong, and what error message do you get?For example, is the server up but your friends can't join? Has anything changed recently (New router, new Anti virus)?

If you want us to help you, then you need top help us.

*Edit* Come to that, which damn game is it?
 
no i just got a new version of the virus software i got today right after i posted this
and i have no new router same one as i had
 
internet game im haveing problems with the games garrys mod 9
 
i make my server everything seems to be in order but my freinds cant see my server in the list and i tried the lan codes still dont work
 
Ok, first of all, edit button ffs, don't triple post. Second, some basic grammar and spelling would be nice. Take a little time to read your post to make sure it makes sence, because frankly, yours don't.

Anyway, now we have some (very basic) information, we must assume that your anti virus software is at fault. We assume this because, as it was working and now is not, something has changed with your setp, and the only thing you mention is new anti virus. Does this anti virus package include a firewall? If so, have you checked that the firewall is set to allow garrys mod to host?

If its not that, has anything else you can think of changed? Don't worry about posting things that can't effect it, we can ignore things that don't apply, its better than not posting somthing that turns out to be the problem.

By lan codes, do you mean sv_lan?

I'm sorry if my posts seem harsh, but you are asking us to help you out of the goodness of our hearts, which we are happy to do, but you don't appear to be making any effort to help us help you. Posts that don't make much sense and contain no useful information tend to irk us.
 
no not at all your right about triple post but i will check on thats fire wall because i think it is doing it thnks alot ill be back
 
link thank you so much for helping me it was the firewall it didnt trust it but i fixed it so again thanks so much for helping me
 
we got another problem it stoped wroking again
and i see my server in lan allt he time this is why my servers are not workin but how do i get it in to internet list
 
My God man, you just agreed to him about triple posting, yet you just did 2 double posts after that.

To get it in the internet list you need to use a dedicated server.
 
I have the same problem and i tryied posting and getting help here about it but evey one seemed to ignore me and didnt want to help me out... Im running a wireless card to my own router, im assuming its with an anti-virus app it havent configured yet or my router isnt letting any one or any thing form CS:S out...
 
To get it in the internet list you need to use a dedicated server.

I'm 100% sure you don't. I've hosted loads of non-dedicated "Listening" servers and they have always appeared on the list. :thumbs:

Ok, when your setting up the game, make sure that the "LAN" box is unticked. Once in the server, type in
"sv_lan"
without putting a number on the end and press enter. It should come back with "sv_lan 0" or "sv_lan 1"
If its sv_lan 0 then the server knows its in internet mode and thats not your problem. If its starting in lan mode, we will need to giure out why.

One other tip, if you type "status" in the console, it will give you various info, including your ip and port (will look like 123.123.123.123:12345). If you give these to your friends, they may be able to connect even if you don't show up in the list.

kacation_man - What exactlys the problem? Other people can't see your server?
 
yup... same as his... same thing with my friends as well... they cant see mine and i cant see theres... and i cant see mine... and they cant see theres... hum... this is odd... i think... im gonna try it again with the stuff you said for the other guy cuz if it dont work... then wth... I'll have to figure some thing else out!

Ok i started a server useing the Source Dedicated Server... but it only shows up on my Lan, not online.. i put in just sv_lan into the console and got :

"sv_lan" = "0"
- Server is a lan server ( no heartbeat, no authentication, no non-class C addresses )

i dont... i really dont know what that means... I never expected anything not alive to have a heartheabt... is this bad?
