Topic: Steam CS/TFC/DOD Server on SME ... Please help

[Tib]

I have installed a steam server on my SME 6.0 box
everything is loaded ok ... but I can't get ppl to see my server from outside.
 
I have started the server with the +ip xxx.xxx.xxx:27015 command to make sure it's on the external network but still nothing.

I have a feeling it's because of the ports that are needed by TFC/CS/DOD etc are blocked by e-smith.

I've searched all over the place but can't find anything on how to fix this problem.

I don't know how to open the ports I need ... could someone please help me with this issue.

If someone needs help in getting up to where I am I can help with a howto ... steam server is different to the howto on this furum ... I had to piece together a few howto's to get it up and running.

Thanks,
Tib

It's not port forwarding I need ... I need to open some ports. The CS/DOD/TFC steam server is on the e-smith box connected directly to the net.
As far as I know port forwaring is to open ports to another machine on the network which I'm doing already with some ports.

I could run the CS/DOD/TFC server of another machine and just forward the port but I would rather run the server off e-smith.

Thanks,
Tib.
