Server hosting and IP help

[vampire622003]

I am trying to host a Counter-Strike Source server from a wirelessly connected server through my router, but instead of having my external IP which is 24.xx.xxx.xxx, it shows the IP the router gave the server which is, 192.xxx.x.xxx. How can I assign my external IP to my wirelessly connected server?

You will need to have your router forward whatever port your CSS server is running on.

I haven't run CSS before, but other posts say it's 27015 (default).

 

[vampire622003]

Yea i did that. when I run the server it says its running on, 192.xxx.x.xxx:27015.

 

[Disparia]

Right, because that is the IP of the server on your internal network. Outside it (should) looks like your 24.xx.xxx.xxx address.

Yeah, there's nothing you can do about your local networked components seeing the local IP address of the system. You can still tell your buddies to connect to [YOURIPORT] and it will (or should) work.

alright you guys, thank you all.

There is a command line switch to "bind" it to an IP.... i forget if its needed. ALso i beleave there needs to be a couple other ports forwarded so that the server will show up in the steam master server list.

You cant bind it to an IP address that isnt avaiable on that NIC.

Windows and linux server both have slightly differnt command line options, I will however guess your a windows user.

So in your short cut to the HLDS program you will want this:

D:\CSS\srcds.exe -game cstrike -console +map de_dust2 +mp_dynamicpricing 0 -tickrate 100 -pingboost 3 -autoupdate +maxplayers 12

Or some thing simular

You must also have server.cfg stored in:

**HLDS FOLDER**\cstrike\cfg

Here is an example of mine:

// server name
hostname "BuffyLan CS Server"

// rcon passsword
rcon_password "***Enter Password here***"

// server cvars
mp_friendlyfire 1
mp_footsteps 1
mp_autoteambalance 0
mp_autokick 0
mp_flashlight 1
mp_tkpunish 0

// round specific cvars

mp_startmoney 1337
mp_c4timer 40
mp_fraglimit 0

// bandwidth rates/settings

// execute ban files

Obviously you cant bind it to an IP that has not been assigned to that machine.

does the mediaplayer trick still work to boost the fps of the server?

 

[buffy]

Yes the media player dose still increase the windows timer resolution, however I prefer this little app: http://www.lucashale.com/timerresolution/

Yeah i remember those days, you can still do it by changing the kernal timing on a linux load so you can go over 250 or w/e the mediaplayer trick took it to.


its been years since i hosted a source server >.>

 

[buffy]

Well with a proper tuned kernel, you can easily get 1000FPS on the server which is nice
Windows I am getting around 600FPS
