arial Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 OK I have a network in my room, 2 PCs. My old PC which is never used has my counter-strike software for a dedicated server. But the thing is noone can connect to it except me since it's IP is 192.168.0.2 here's how I have my network setup. My main PC has 2 network cards in it, one connecting to my cable modem and the other connecting to my other computer via cat5 crossover. Simple painless network. My other PC is the bitch but I want to use it for a private dedicated cs server for scrims. But I have no idea in the world how to port forward it. I use ZoneAlarm Pro as my firewall. Any help would be appriciated. Arial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OPaul Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 If the main machine has WinXP you can enable the built in firewall feature and then add the Counter-Strike port making the host the internal machine. If it isn't XP then SpoonProxy works well for forwarding a port, just set up the port under the TCP map with the internal machine as the host.

Windows XP and 2000 also have a TCP/IP setting built in that will let you map TCP ports, but it can be hard to find and configure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Statikk Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 I would suggest going out and spending like $39.99 (I think that's the current price) on a LinkSys BEFSR41 4 port router. Defnitely worth the money if you run services on your internal network that you'd like to *easily* make accessible via the net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arial Posted July 15, 2003 Author Share Posted July 15, 2003 OK here's what I tried on the local area network settings... Description of Service: CS Server Name or IP address ect...: 192.168.0.2 External Port number for this service: 27015 Internal Port number for this service: 27015 And I checked TCP Is this right cause it's still not working... I also checked the box next to it to enable it. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also checked the box next to it to enable it. Any suggestions? That looks right providing that 192.168.0.2 is the correct IP for the machine running the CS Server. Are you sure you have "Prevent my computer and network...." under Internet Connection Firewall in the Advanced section of the Internet Connections properties checked. Make sure it is the connection that is for the Internet and not the Local Area Network one, I like to rename it to "Internet Connection" so's not to get confused.
