Cannot see, nor join my own dedicated server.
-
Hello everyone,
I know this problem is something that has been discussed so many times, but even with all the documentation I found online, I still couldn't solve my problem.
I cannot join nor see my server in the server list (my friend can't see the server aswell).
-I tried connect 0.0.0.0:4976 / localhost:4976 / 127.0.0.1:4976. Briefly shows "Joining server" then nothing happens.
-I forwarded on my modem the ports 4976-4978 UDP, and allowed the inbound/outbound exceptions on my firewall.
-I checked my hosts file and found nothing anomalous.The server seems to start normally, I will attach a screenshot.
Thanks in advance for your help
Edit: For reference, me and my friends have no problems joining me in a custom match.

Is the server running on the same machine as your client?
-
Xerxes yes, same machine. By the way, extra question, the server list displayed name should be the one chosen in the server key page? Some old tutorials show a "hostname" parameter in the Zombie cfg but I can't seem to find it in there.
-
Then it can't work obviously as 4976 is taken by the client and the server has to use 4977.
Also those tutorials are old for a reason... -
