Forwarding port for Counter-strike: Source is not working

With my linksys router (Model WRT54G)I tried forwarding my port for a Counter-Strike: Source server. My friends tried it after I tried forwarding the ports and it did not work. It looks like this: |Application|Start|End--|Protocol|Ip-Adress------|Enabled| |CS1--------|1200-|1200-|Both----|192.168.1.[105]|Check--| |CS2--------|2700-|27015|Both----|192.168.1.[105]|Check--| |CS3--------|27020|27039|Both----|192.168.1.[105]|Check--| I can get on the server but my friends can not. And yes, I did uncheck "Block Anonymous Internet request". Message Edited by Iridium on 08-16-2007 07:37 PM Message Edited by Iridium on 08-16-2007 07:38 PM

Is the IP address 192.168.1.105 really the IP address of the server in your LAN?
Moreover, check what kind of modem you have. Follow the instructions here. If the IP address on the status page is a private IP address and the IP address on whatismyipaddress.com is different then your modem does routing too and you have to configure port forwarding there as well.

  • Imac FOR COUNTER STRIKE SOURCE ONLINE

    hey all, im fairly new with mac but am considering buying an imac. When i heard the boot camp news i was really intrigued.
    i was wondering if the imac can run CS source on high settings, which one of the optinns below i should buy, and what experience you have with CS:S on a mac (if you have any) are.
    condsidering buying: will go for top model but preffer lower one if possible...
    option1 :
    17" imac
    1.83 ghz processor.
    1gb ram.
    128 mb video card
    or option 2:
    20" imac
    2. ghz processor
    1gb ram
    256 mb video card
    thanks in advance.

    hmm, i and probably a hundren thousand other people are dieing to know the performance of Counterstrike on a imac. i would love personally to know what settings and what performance someone is getting on a 20" model with 256 Vram and 1GB RAM. my most important question is how much AA and AF one can use at high settings without lag and how much FPS ure getting. LETS GET SOME IMAGE AND VIDEO PROOF OF THIS, WE'RE DIEING!

  • Port Forwarding for Counter Strike Server - DSL Modem to Linksys Router then to my Laptop (wifi)

    Hi,
    i have read many posts here but did not find any solution. Below is my current situation.
    Objective: I want to create a Counter Strike 1.6 Server and for that i have to forward port 27015.
    Networking Issues: Im currently using a Shiro (Dsl Modem) which is given by my ISP & i have connected my DSL modem to my Linksys WRT54G (ver 7.2) router. I connect my laptop thorugh wifi to router.
     I know basic port forwarding but that does not help me. I need a complete tutorial on this issue coz i dont have much network knowledge.
    waiting for reply
    thank you

  • Having some troubles while playing Counter Strike: Source

    Hi guys,
    Currently I'm using the Macbook Pro 13.3" 2nd version ( 2.9GHz, etc.). It's from Mid 2012 I believe. Anyway, I got it for passing my finals, so I've got it for less than a month now. And the thing is, I'm not really satisfied with the way it works. Please note that I'm not talking about the operating system. I feel that the performance is pretty poor, the battery dies on me really quick and it gets extremely hot. Not warm, but HOT. I could fry an egg on the bottom of my laptop.
    I would expect something that costs so much, to work perfectly.
    My apologies, I'm going off topic.
    Whilest playing Counter Strike: Source, which should work perfectly fine on a MacBook Pro, I've noticed a rather poor performance. It shocks a lot. It's not "lag", because I have it on all the servers, even where my internet connection is around the 15 ( which is really good, the lower the better).
    This is my very first laptop so I'm not sure what to do and how to use one properly. If all these symptoms are considered normal, then I would like to apologize in advance.
    Kind regards,
    Patrick

    After several more tests I’ve arrived at a solution.
    There seems to be a random element in Boot Camp’s installation process that creates an IRQ resource conflict in Windows. The BSOD I was getting indicated that “IRQL not less than or equal to” and a BCM.sys file was responsible for the conflict. This file is related to the Broadcom Ethernet driver.
    Reverting back to Boot Camp 2.1 actually made Counter Strike crash even sooner, but suggested to me that Boot Camp drivers were responsible. I performed a complete uninstall and reinstalled to Boot Camp 3.0. Hours of game play later and no crashes or BSOD.
    If a complete uninstall and reinstall doesn’t fix it for you the first time, try it again. I think it just has to “randomly” assign the IRQ correctly. Manually assigning the IRQ probably won’t work as Windows apparently cannot detect the conflicts until it fails.
    Direct X 10 is not responsible for the problem. I tested this by running CSS in 9.0c mode via an advanced start command and it still crashed. Oh, and I also discovered that Direct X 10 is integrated into Vista and cannot be uninstalled or rolled back.

  • Counter-Strike: Source Server Lag

    I was running Debian Sarge (64bit), and a few Counter-Strike Source servers, I had no problem at all and they was running smooth.
    Recently I installed Arch (i686) on the server and the CSS servers are laggy, while playing you get frequent lag spikes...
    $ uname -a
    Linux r0xb0x 2.6.17-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Sep 9 07:32:55 CEST 2006 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 4000+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
    I was running 2.6.7(?) on Debian, so I'm thinking its the 2.6.17 kernel, should I try a differant flavor like beyond/archck/vanilla?
    The FPS fluctuatates from 120 - 250, I could'nt tell you what it was like on Debian.
    Is there a custom kernel for gaming? Or one that would suite my needs better, or should I compile my own?
    Thanks
    -- eth0

    I'm trying to compile my own kernel, and I can't get pass "make install":
    [root@r0xb0x linux-2.6.17.13]# make install
    sh /usr/src/linux-2.6.17.13/arch/i386/boot/install.sh 2.6.17.13eth0 arch/i386/boot/bzImage System.map "/boot"
    Fatal: open /dev/hda: Read-only file system
    make[1]: *** [install] Error 1
    make: *** [install] Error 2
    Some reason it's using /dev/hda, yet all my hard-drives are SATA (/dev/sda), why's it using /dev/hda. I Google'd, couldn't find anything...

  • SB Xtreme Music and Counter-strike Source He

    Hello,
    I have a sound blaster xtreme music and I play the game counter-strike source. I have having a problem with the surround sound. I can hear everything around me except behind me when I play. Ive tried everything to get it but I just cant figure? it out. Can some help me!

    I do not have other games, only CSS - well the valve games i bought.
    When I am in Ventrilo, the others hear me with the audio creation, I can change the effects and they hear it. Although, in counter strike, it makes no change to my audio- my audio just sounds normal, so I thought the diagnostic from SB would show me something. The above error might be the reason, but I do not know what that actually means.
    Thanks

  • Windows 7 and counter-strike source shuttering.

    I have concluded this is caused by creatives driver by disabling the card in device manager the shuttering is gone. Is there a work in progress for this or some kind of work around until it is fixed?

    Re: Windows 7 and counter-strike source shuttering. Found a simple work around until someone can fix this, found this over in the sevenforums.com
    Hi there, I've recently had an extremely annoying issue regarding sound, games, multiplayer, and Windows 7. When I would start up a game (such as Counter-Strike Source or Heroes of Newerth) and connect to server, my fps and ping would be nominally ok, but the game would lag. In HoN this would be displayed by the heroes moving jerkily around the map, even though my fps and ping were good. In Counter Strike, this evidenced itself by glitchy nades that don't bounce smoothly, and whenever sounds are played, the ping spikes a bit. It's kind of like playing on a 33 tic server, for those of you familiar with the game. None of these issues occurred in single player games or in the aforementioned games with a local server.
    Anyway, I searched and searched here and couldn't find anything, but finally I found something in Google:
    Stop and disable the "Multimedia Class Scheduler" service<
    Run regedit and go to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servi ces\Audiosrv"<
    Double click on the entry "DependOnService" and delete the line with "MMCSS" from the text box<
    Reboot and enjoy lag free games<
    This fixes issues with Realtek '97 (my motherboard uses nforce 4 chipset), and I'm guessing it will also fix issues with Creative Audigy 2 ZS, which I also have installed at the moment, but haven't tested.
    I diagnosed the issue by realizing that by disabling audio devices in device manager, lag would disappear in-game. So glad I found this solution after installing 6 different audio drivers and generally being very frustrated. Just thought I'd leave this here as a reference for others with a similar issue.
    Original solution by Mirkon. Thanks!

  • Problem with 6700 6.1 in counter strike source with msi mobo

    hi,
    i've just baught a 6700 6.1 set and they work fine in windows, dvds and the msi speaker set up test. but in counter strike sources speaker test and in game only the centre and sub work. i've changed the speaker settings in windows and source with no luck.
    my msi mobo (k8n neo2) has 7.1 built in but only offers 2channel 4channel 5.1 or 7.1 options so i am using my speakers in 5.1 when i run the speaker set up test provided with my mobo the right speaker is highlighted and then plays a sound but in the source speeker test only the centre and sub actually make a sound when they are iluminated i have tryed all combinations off the msi set up and source set up and the problem does not change.
    i was wondering what i could do or if this problem has been heard of before.
    if i have missed any information out that u need 2 know just ask and il let u know
    thanks a lot

    If I dun remember wrongly, there's a switch at the woofer. Try changing that to direct mode.

  • Counter Strike Source on MBP

    I'm new to this forum and macs in general but it is about that time for an upgrade. I currently have a Dell inspiron 5100 2.8P4 with a ati 7500 Radion Mobility card(64) 1 Gig Ram. I am looking for a laptop that will be able to run both games and software with ease. I have been doing a little research online and have come across MBP. I also learned that it can boot both windows and the standard Mac os. Does anyone know how Counter-Strike Source will run on this machine? Ive heard mixed stories about the graphics and would like some clarification. A possible frames per second count? Overheating issues? Anything at all?
    Id like to get the
    BPG 2.6 4 gig 15' model.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanx in advance.

    if you like games, stick to PC. games on a mac are virtually non-existent. even the games sold through the apple store barely run on a mac and aren't supported. games through bootcamp are really bad as well. i'd stick with PC...

    hi recently i try this Game Counter Strike Source by using boot camp on Window XP, but i'm having some problem when loading there is black screen... does anyone know this problem.. is there any way to solve please help thanks...

    You can run CS Source through boot camp and it works fine. I don't have it on my own computer, but I know because of the hardware in the MacBook. I've played on a PC that has similiar configs, possibly even lower.
    Hit me up ... I'm Stankoniaexp90 on various servers. I liked the P00p server a lot though lol.

  • My USB port (closest to the screen) is not working? And what is an IR Receiver in my USB port?

    Hi everyone,
         I recently found out that my USB port, closest to my screen, is not working. Before I called Apple Care for help, I performed a PRAM and a SMC RESET, which unfortunately did not work. I called Apple Care and they help me troubleshoot simple resets such as, shutdowns and restarts. The representative I spoke with conluded that the physical hardware has an issue and must be brought to the Apple Store for a diagnosis. I called the Apple Store to at least budget the fee for getting a USB port fixed and it's about $300.00. I never dropped my macbook or had any sort tactile encounterment with hard surfaces by dropping or hitting. I don't understand how my macbook pro would be physically damaged. I then thought maybe my software was out of date (right now I am running 10.9 Mavericks) or I forgot to do the minor software updates, but I was at a lost again because my macbook is up-to-date. I searched for further help and found a way to monitor what's plugged into my usb ports. (I read in the apple forums that a girl had nothing in her usb ports, but upon looking at the System Information> Hardware> USB, that the macbook recognizes that there are drives in the ports) I looked at my ports; one is being used by wirless mouse (the port that works) and the other (the port that doesnt work) is being used by an "IR RECEIVER". Now, is the IR Receiver actually using that port and that's why my macbook cannot recognize other devices inserted into that port? Or is the IR RECEIVER suppose to be in that port and that the hardware for that port is simply damaged (which would mean I need $300.00 to get that fixed)? I know this is a lot, but someone help me?

    I can help with the "IR Receiver" part of your question. That's the piece of hardware inside older MacBook Pros (MBPs) that lets them work with the Apple Remote. "IR" is the standard abbreviation for "infrared," the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum used by remotes for many common devices (stereos, cable boxes, Apple TVs, etc.). The remote sends a coded stream of IR pulses; a corresponding receiver in the target device "sees" the infrared light and decodes it. The MBP's internal IR Receiver sends the received signals to the processor via USB through an internal hub.
    The most recent MacBook Pros have dropped the IR receiver and no longer work with the Apple Remote.
