Hello i am having a problem with my counter-strike server. I configured the computer where the server is on to b a static ip by going to network connection, local area connection, properties, internet protocol then manually entering the ip and dns info from the check i did with ipconfig /all. I also made the computer i have the server on a dmz host so i didnt have to forward ports. EVerytime i try to connect to the server i get retrying errors but it wont connect. I tryed both the routers ip on that computer and the real ip and none of them worked. Can someone please help me?

The computer where the counter-strike is run is a windows xp and is connected to the router ethernet port.

Thanks

Check with your ISP to make sure you can host game servers. Alot of ISPs don't allow you to or force you to buy their best packages inorder to do so.

I tried setting up a dedicated server for Unreal Tournament and was unable to do so for this reason. *******s.

EDIT: They censored b@stards? Political Correctness takes a turn for the worse.

EDIT EDIT: Incidentally, no one will know better how to run a dedicated server on your ISP than...well...your ISP! You could try contacting their tech support via email, or they may even have a Knowledge Base or FAQ where this question was answered already.

ok ok i got it all to work i had to reset my wireless to get the dmz thing to work... but now i downloaded a firewall (zonealarm) on my computer with the server that is a dmz host and when i started hlds i said to let hlds be a server and access the internet but sometimes like when ppl r playing on my server they get dropped randomly from the server... can someone help me with this?

Does it work without that firewall? Try closing the firewall, as in right-click the icon and hit exit, then do a ctrl-alt-del to make sure it's not running.
