Server rentals :: NFOservers.com

I am curious if anyone else has ever run into this. Occasionally the servers on our dedicated all show up as the first IP in the declared IPs. When you view status is console, and connect to them, they show the correct IP. However, when you view someone on friends (view game) it always shows the base IP.

Any thoughts or solutions for this?

It sounds like the IP binding may not be set correctly. What types of servers are these?

SRCDS - CS:S and TF2

I have -ip xx.xx.xx.xx in for the command line option as well as ip xx.xx.xx.xx in the autoexec.cfg

In status it says UDP/IP xx.xx.xx.xx, then public ip yy.yy.yy.yy, so somehow my public IP is getting the wrong info.

After typing this out I figure its prob due to -ip and not +ip... Sigh..

The correct way should be -ip if I am not mistaken, but switching it to +ip is worth trying.

For Source/OB, -ip on the command line is correct. Don't include it elsewhere (such as in the autoexec.cfg), and make sure that it's early in the command line (such as the first thing).

I am at a loss. I did this as you mentioned, and it still occurs. I am hosting apache on the box as well, but to me that should have no impact.

In the status log it is still doing the


Anything else you could possibly suggest? I should also mention it always defaults the public IP to the default ip listing on network connection tcp/ip setting when it does occur.

Sorry I can no longer edit the post. I also noticed when typing ip in the console while the server is running, it gives

Do you have any sort of firewall/NAT/proxy enabled?

I've never seen this happen here, which makes it harder for me to suggest what else you might try.

I don't believe so.

I had toyed with MMC rules at one point, but I unassigned them months ago.

It's worth double-checking. Also, is the other IP pingable and usable? Can you connect to it via RDP?

Yes to both, and I can use connect 64.74.97.130 in the console in CS:S to connect as well. However clicking on server info on a friend shows it as the base IP for the server.

I have been googling it off and on for weeks with no real hits.

What is your full command line, and where are you running the server from? Is this a Linux or Windows server? If Windows, do you have a Steam client installed, and have you tried entirely removing it from the machine?
