server.xml file help please

oldassgamers

Hello guys, im experiance something strange. I cannot have a specific port when starting up the server. If i write 27015 i usually get port 27016 when the server is online. All from 27015-27017.

<b>This is my server.xml file:</b>
<options>
<lanGame>false</lanGame>
<mapName>ns2_summit</mapName>
<port>27015</port>
<serverName>OldAssGamers.com - Server 1</serverName>
<adress>62.65.106.53</adress>
<playerLimit>16</playerLimit>
</options>

<b>This is my .bat file setup:</b>
cd C:\service\ns2_servers\server_1
ns2update.exe -file C:\Service\ns2_servers\server_1\server.xml --restartwhenempty -ip 62.65.106.53 -port 27015 -game c:\Service\NS2_Servers\Server_1\NS2GmOvrmind


Did i do something wrong? please help
Also when writing in the ip adress my server stop showing on "refresh" list :(

You have a typo in the address field:

<adress>62.65.106.53</adress> Should be - <address>62.65.106.53</address>

27015 is the port that the game will run on, 27016 is the default query responder port for the spark engine, and 27017 is the default query responder for the overmind plugin.

now i rechanged that. but i still dont get the server to the refresh list :/ are im using the correct port on server.xml and on .bat file ?

Can you connect to the server manually by typing "connect 62.65.106.53:27015" in your console ?

Which 'refresh list' are we talking about here, and how long are you waiting to check?

The in-game list is accurate, and accurate to within a few minutes. but I find <a href="http://www.play4dead.com/ns2/" target="_blank">http://www.play4dead.com/ns2/</a> to sometimes take 2-3x longer to update.

In console it says "error: couldn't bind socket"
"error: error bidning server to 62.65.106.53:27015"
