hey, i have loked in the troubleshooting section in the sticky above but this still does not help. i have tried to make a dedicated server, however it does not appear on steam's lists. in server.cfg i have entered

Code:

hostname "smellyshoes2 sourceforts"
sv_maxspeed 400 
sv_lan 0
ip 82.108.5.230

i have forwaded all the ports needed and also disabled the firewalls. how come no one can find it? also on the main server page it says that the server ip is my local ip. why is it that and not my global one? and finally the servers name is not working correctly, it just shows as Sourceforts V 1.91 [BuilD] how can i change it?
sorry for all the questions. help appreciated
thanks

Try the 'heartbeat' command a few times in the console and see if you get an error, or it might even work :O

oooohhhh a server question I can answer

If the dedicated server shares the same external IP address as the computer that you are trying to find the server on (ie they're on the same network), then you won't see it in the server list on anything other than LAN servers

try finding it from another external IP (at a mates house, or ask a friend to look)

ip 82.108.5.230 isn't gonna do anything.

Edit the hostname in the phase_build.cfg and phase_combat.cfg. It changes in each file to change the name of the server based on what phase is currently going on.
