NET_SendPacket ERROR

I have just done a new cs server install on linux. The downloads went fine and the update ran without errors. I have ports 1200, 27000-27015 and 27020-27039 opened and forwarded in my router (according to portforward.com).

When I try to run the server for the first time, it looks like this:

Ok, using my local lan ip, or if I leave the +ip command off, and get:

Code:

sh-3.1$ ./hlds_run -game cstrike +maxplayers 16 +map de_dust +mapchangecfgfile "server.cfg" +ip 192.168.1.4

I don't know what the NET_SendPacket ERROR means. I see it can't establish a connection to the Steam servers. :(

I also tried it with the ip address of my router and got a FATAL ERROR:

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Figured it out, thanks anyway.

Hey, the posts on page 1 helped me, but I'm still confused. I got hldsupdatetool.bin to run, but how do I get the game console to run???? Please help asap.

NET_SendPacket ERROR

I have the EXACT same problem as you code_mafia, care to share the solution?

I had the ports forwarded on my router, but forgot about the built-in firewall in Mepis. I opened the ports there also and it works. I still have one problem though, it won't show up in the internet servers list, so people on the net can't pick it from the list, only if they know the actual ip address.

This is my current output when I launch the server:

The server is running, AMX ModX is installed and people can login and play if they go to the ip address of my router, it just won't show up in the internet servers list. I have posted this problem on 3 different CS Server type forums and haven't gotten a single reply in a week.

Along wit hhe previous post, I am having a similar problem. i am noting that the STEAM auth server is being called rather than the WON auth server. I know that this is really a STEAM issue (not linux), but I have been aiting for days for admin approval to register onthe STEAM forum and I am getting anxious. I just purchesed a dedicated host for gaming and have verified that no ports are being blocked.

I get hung during the server start process and the auth server process does not complete until i "quit" the server. Maybe one of you has seen this before?

thanks!
