people cant join my server, help please?
JamminR:
One more thing I discovered this evening.
After playing several single player sessions while troubleshooting a script I'm working on, I tried to load a listen server.
It continued to come up single player.
Odd.
I restarted Gmod and loaded up a listen server fine after that.
Probably not your issue, but, an oddity just the same.
Ori Child:
well i now a new fresh download of gmod, and the port is 27015. but, even with a new install, the right port, still no one can connect, (this is with no extra downloaded content been put on it, its just the very basic gmod) so, with everything back to how it is when you first download it (when there was no problems) any ideas why it wont work now?
MrPresident:
Did you follow the steps we already gave?
1. Make sure you set up your home router to forward 27015 to your computer.
2. Make sure your friends trying to connect connect to your actual IP. (http://www.whatismyip.com) go there to get your internet IP
3. Make sure you are running a LAN server. Go into console and try to spawn a bot by typing "bot" (without the quotes) into your console.. if it tells you it failed to make a bot.. you are in single player. =) If it tells you sv_cheats has to be on.. then you are in a multiplayer mode.
If you are 1000% sure all 3 of the steps are complete... then I don't know why.. but I'd almost bet anything that your problem is user error. (not to be taken offensively)
Ori Child:
well, my server ip matches my ip from the whats my ip website
and i get the sv_cheats needs to be on for the bot...
but i honestly have no idea how to forward ports from my router to my computer
oh and the person can join on lan aswell..
and, i know your not tech support but do you think you could point me in the right direction (roughly) please?
