Ok, first off - no you don't need to pay for a server, unless you want a high-end one for a lot of players. When you create your own server from the Create Multiplayer menu, make sure that the LAN box is un-checked. If you still can't see your server online, you need to forward (or "open") some ports on your router so it's visible online. Here's the basics:

1) Type http://192.168.0.1/ in your browser address bar.
2) If you're asked for a username and password, enter admin as a name but no password and hit enter.
3) Now look for a page / section on the router config screen you're looking at that's called "Virtual Server" (That is most likley the port forwarding page, but every router varies).
4) Now HL2 games require 3 ports open:

UDP Port 27015
TCP Port 27015
UDP Port 27020

Set those ports so they're open on the Virtual Server / forwarding page and make sure it's for the computer you're using (Usually 192.168.0.100). It might be a little confusing but I can't help you there unless i know what kind of router you have.

5)After step 4 is done, Garrysmod should be visible online!

If you want to make a dedicated server (A server run from a dialog box without you needing to actually join the game), then download this little package: GMod_Server.zip (708KB) and extract it's contents somewhere. Look at the readme. It will download all needed content for your server. Note that it's a little bit more complicated to run a dedicated server so search the forums a bit about that if needed - but using that little kit is WAY easier than downloading it from http://srcds.com/

Hope that helps! The rest of you MingeBags just posted crap that didn't help the poor newbie out. *shakes fists*

That little gmod server kit I linked to above originally came from http://time2burn.org/ but the website has since then disappeared :(

ok, but how do you add addons to the server and choose your map, and put additional content in

Let me rephrase that

DO I need to forward Ports on my Router if my Server is being ran through Hamachi?

Well have you tried connecting to the server through Hamachi?

Port Forwarding doesn't work alone on some routers. My Linksys router fails at everything.

[SN_Art]

Im using Hamachi. It's just for me and my friends, so it works perfectly.

[camoceltic]

As with what others have said, you should just use the SRCDS server setup. I followed the instructions and I'm not having many problems. The problems I do have are caused by my curiosity of "Ohhh, what does this do?"

I have the same problem, i've opened ports 27000 to 27050 both udp and TCP, port 5273 tcp and 7002 tcp on both my router and firewall. I have tried sv_lan 0, heartbeat / setting it to a lan game then sv_lan 0 , heartbeat / setting my external ip unsing the "ip" command and just tried giving my external ip to my friends but they still can't connect, just get server not responding. I know it's not the firewall or router because I was able to host an internet game of hl2dm a few days ago which 2 of my friends and a few other people joined but i have not been able to get another hl2dm or any other game running. i've tried both dedicated servers and listen servers all with no luck! damn this spelling thing! :(

27015 AND 27016 help too

Why the hell do these threads get so much attention?

[Arttie]

Because people are
A: completely new to the server scene
B: forget things because of how long its been
or
C: heard from a friend that plays the game and wants a server to play on.

He was calling you a retard.

I bet your sibling has more common sense than you do.

[Koenigsegg]

If you have to ask this question, you're probably not yet experienced enough to run a server.

But, take a look at the "Source Dedicated Server" tool under the tools list.

[sam6420]

Oh god, this thread is from 2007.

Anybody can run a server and I disagree when somebody claims you need experience. You aren't born with experience and the only way to learn is to do it.

Put that in the games in progress sub forum

[turoktony]

Just check out the wiki. It has an article about how to make a server.

[SHYoshi]

After port forwarding, you gotta have a static IP.
Or just use DMZ if your router has one.

Every time I try to log in to http://192.168.0.1/ it says "The user name or password is invalid, please try again." Is there some other way to do port forwarding?
