Quick Question: Admin by IP Address?

[Stephen304]

No, no other problems, just no steam id. So i guess what you said means i loose my own local ip too?

[JamminR]

It looks like it, yes. Odd though, considering your server runs on the right IP.
Your Gmod client may be seeing another connection... does your computer have more than one network card or connection?
Sometimes Windows sees firewire, VPN adapters, other software/virtual drivers as a connection and can assign it a 169.254.x.x address.
If you go to a command prompt and do a "ipconfig /all", your adapters (with IP) will be shown.

Looks like alot of them to me.

That is quite a bit, much of it dealing with IPv6, which 99.9% of the internet, and definitely 'home' based equipment, is not using right now.
You may wish to google how to disable IPv6 in Vista/Windows 7. (Teredo / tunnel adapters are IPv6 to v4 converters)

Also... the fact you seem to run a server through a wireless connection may be causing connection issues to Steam.
Though good for surfing/burst transmission access to the web, wireless usually isn't good for streaming based applications, even when sitting right next to the router.
If you have a way to go ethernet/wired... I strongly recommend doing so.
I bet your players would notice the difference too.

Do you use Bluetooth internet access devices? Not mice/keyboards, but Bluetooth devices designed to access the internet.
If not, you may wish to research how to disable those.

The less connections your applications, including Steam, have to worry/scan through while starting can help issues like the one you're having with losing Steam connectivity.
As for setting an IP in ULX, I'd work on not losing the SteamID/connectivity problems first... once that's corrected, I bet ULX follows.

[Stephen304]

Yeahhh... No way to direct connect, router is 1 floor down. Only place to hook up. No chance of my parents letting me move the computer closer to my room.

I'll see what i can do about those other connections.

[vader0146]

get your own computer lol

[JamminR]

He can't yet. They (seem like) good parents and wish to monitor his computer activities.
Best way is to keep it in a monitored place.

Either way, wireless is shady connection at best.
Know you can't help it, but server performance is affected, and connection to Steam, as you can tell, is too.

Age doesn't matter regarding this topic.
Discussion here has been intelligible and questions reasonably versed.
Leave pointless remarks like that out of it.

For future reference, the answer to the original question post is, for ULib 2.3 and less (non svn), in users.txt, id would be the IP x.x.x.x of the player/person connecting, and type would be "ip"
Again though, the reason your steamid isn't working goes beyond ULX, and most likely if your Steamid isn't working, your IP would be invalid/not matching either.
From ucl.lua of ULib 2.3

RICK JAMES!

Ok, lol sry i had to do that.
Where did you get that from??? 0_o
You are some years off.

Anyways, thanks for that info, next time it breaks maybe it will work, because I'm pretty sure my ip stays correct.

[jay209015]

Wish I had read this earlier. When running a dedicated server on the same machine that you plan on playing the game from, you have to setup your ports for your server and the game to be different from each other otherwise you will lose your steam id. This is more common when using windows vista/7. Think the command for the command line was +hostport and +port and +clientport you have to change them all.

[JamminR]

Odd. Though it might be because I'm using XP, I've never had a port conflict. If I start my dev ded server, it will by default grab an open port. If I start steam/Gmod before or after, it uses a different port, usually sequential, than what the server is.

Ive never lost my steamid, though it's been a while since I've run a ded server and gmod for more than an hour or two at a time.

[jay209015]

It's happened to me many times. I hate windows vista+ for this reason, but oh well few more configs won't hurt.

[JamminR]

https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=8571-GLVN-8711
I've had those ports opened on my linux firewall for ages. Even though it says Dedicated = 27015 TCP, I've got the whole TCP range from the paragraph above it (27014 to 27040)
 Either that's helped me not lose my steamid, or Gmod updates over past year or two (since I last ran long uptime server) have broken it, or, as perhaps in both your and Stephen's case, Vista has so many adapters, Steam gets confused and maps same port on a different adapter that's already in use on another. (or, worse, combo's of all)
Though you connect directly to your server, the server and steam client both connect to outside servers, even if you have "-nomaster" set in your command line. (fyi if you didn't know, -nomaster tells server not to advertise to servers list (ie, allow people to see you advertised))

[Megiddo]

Actually you can add by IP or even unique id in ULib/ULX svn. I forgot I still made that possible, sorry. Just put an IP or a unique id in place of where the steamid would normally go.
