Just got a free linux box a few days ago and what I'm trying is to make it a server computer. Just having two problems related to it. And any guide I've read here or elsewhere don't help.

First of all.. the binaries. Getting this damn Deathmatch gamemode if I check my server from the other computer. I read that it has something to with the server reverting back to hl2dm binaries when the ones in the sf folder don't work. Now, I've tried using the fixed binaries and pretty much everything I can think of. Doesn't help. So maybe the community I've been blaming for the last days could show it's really helpful.

Secondly... I can't get it to show in the Internet-tab(I have asked other ppl too if they can see it). I can see it in the Lan-tab and could probably join it too if I wasn't having the first problem. I have tried putting sv_lan 0 and ip stuff to the server.cfg(aswell as trying them in the console). When I write ip in the console it says the same IP internet gives me when I ask it. I have forwarded the required ports(27005 to 27015 UPD). The console also weirdly says that is has connected to the steam servers("Connection to Steam Servers Succesful. VAC secure mode activated."). I believe it's because of the router is bad(I was capable of making listens with my old router but not this one).

ANY ideas on either of the problems?

are you sure you have linux-packages in the SF-folder ? *.dll s don't work there

Ahh.. Thanks for pointing that out. I put the .so-file in the bin-folder and now it seems to work(show the right game in the server window, gotta go test).

Then to the next problem. I have to get this public.

For the publicity problem:
you have to turn of all firewalls and antivirusprogramms (perhaps not all .. but I don't really know what might block it )
then the server will be automatically in the internet-servers-list
look for 'TESTSERVER' .. i started that server at my own pc to test that internet thing (makes me problems too)

can you tell me your IP then .. ?

May also be a problem with blocked router ports and stuff.

sure but ...
if he didn't forward them to another pc it should work ( with fritz.box and forwarded ports 27015 udp & tcp i can make an internet server .. but the ping is extremly high

I run a server on a Linux box as well, everything works fine and I forwarded some of the ports you specified plus a few more. I don't think most Linux distros come with firewalls or antivirus pre-installed, or if installed, doesn't usually cause problems, so I wouldn't expect that to be the problem.

TCP: 1200, 27000-27020
UDP: 27015, 27020-27050

I really can't say what all these ports do, but the server just works for me. :>

Checked my forwarded ports and did some changes to them.

Still doesn't work.

Could you tell me what you've put on the server.cfg/autoexec.cfg files? If you put anything there.

I put all srcds, hl2mp files downloaded into a folder called srcds, so my folder hiearchy goes something like this: ~/srcds/sourceforts/* with .so files and srcds_run being run from and executed from /srcds/.

I didn't mean that.

I ment what might you be having inside the said files? Any commands like sv_lan 0 etc etc?
