Hosting Server What i am doing wrong here?

[Juan Krupoviesa]

Hello guys, i'm trying to host a server so my friends and i can play on our own for a few days now. Im pretty sure i'm doing everything correct. I will post screenshots of my server.cfg, my server.bat, my ipconfig and my port forward rule (which is 29070-29080, according to Puppytine on one of the latest post). When i execute the server, everything seems fine on the cmd, but when i check on Local, or Internet, the server simply isn't there. I also checked with jacklul. And i don't know that's the mistake here. Maybe you guys can figure it out.
server.cfg:

Not sure but you have to probably need to set up a map with

map mb2_lunarbase

or any other map.

i don't get it, server config seems to have maps on the rotation section. or i have to put it somewhere elsewhere?

What’s the content of the bat file you use to run the server?

Can you connect to your server from the same pc using connect localhost: port ?

 

[Puppytine]

when i check on Local

Weird.

or Internet, the server simply isn't there.

You shouldn't trust that screen anyway.
There are some reports that people who run server cannot see their servers on machines where the servers are running when "Source = Internet".

I also checked with jacklul.

Jacklul is reliable.

Do what Vis said, check are you able to connect the server from PC where it's launched.

Check firewalls, both third-party (Kaspersky, Comodo etc) and Windows built-in.
Some anti-virus software comes with a firewall included.

Disable firewall in your router. It may be named in different ways. Check settings carefully.

Are you sure your ISP allows port opening? Contact some other people who use same ISP as you do -- are they able to host any servers?
Have you tried hosting some other servers -- other games, http, ftp?
Were you able to configure file sharing software (DC++, eMule, Torrent...) to archive best possible mode ("HighID", "Active mode")?

There is a line visible on screenshot that shows that server had map loaded already.

Thanks for the help! the server is running and i'm enjoying it with my friends. The thing now is that i want the server to have password. But it still doesn't show on servers list. So i have to connect throught console. The funny thing is, console doesn't let me put the password so it automaticaly kicks me for invalid password haha. Is there a command to connect with the password?

Is it shown on jacklul?
If it's not, re-read my previous post and try solutions from there.
Make sure that masterservers are able to connect your server, that their IPs aren't blocked by firewall and router.

I need help with the /connect
