Making Counter Strike Dedicated Servers (port fowarding) Thread

some questions:

- At portfoward.com, theres a port for Counter-Strike. Do I use that port even though i'm making the server through steam?

- For application, do i just put "Counter-Strike"?

You just forward 27015 tcp/udp to your computers internal IP

ohh so no application? awsome thanks. wait, what do i do for "start" and "end"? 27015 isnt like the cs port they list. and should i select both for tcp and udp?

i'm also guessing i click the "enable" checkbox....

ok i don't know wtf portforward.com is, but on my router page, i make the two boxes that ask for ports 27015, and my inside IP whatever my comps is

Img13.exs.cx

also, why 27015?

Edited by: Chunky

er, ok put start /end as 27015, set it to both, go start > cmd > ipconfig, and get the last digit for that internal IP.. although i don't know why it assumes it's 192.168.1 because mine is different, yeah and er , i guess application can be anything

But I have no idea wtf that is as i do mine differently on my router page (which wtf is down atm !)

awsome thanks, but i just want to know why i have to enter 27015, and how will it know to do this for cs?

I believe you want the application to be hlds.exe or whatever application it is that Steam uses for servers these days.

now i just need to figure out what port to enter. is it the cs one that portfoward lists? i guess it is....

thanks.

You enter whatever port your server is going to be on. By default its 27015. But you can change it, and need to I believe if you plan on playing on your server (unless they fixed it)

never mind. i finally got the hlds thing to work, so i'll set the ports to hlds. hopefully i'll also find out how to run a garry's mod server if i pull off running a cs server first.

thanks everyone.

Running a Garry's Mod server should be about the same but you have to use the Source Dedicated Server (if you aren't already, forgot to ask if it was CS:S or just plain ol' CS)

yeah i got the cs server to finally work

now its a garrys mod server i want. i just got one problem now: Garry.tv
