I have a dedicated server for NS2. I have followed the wiki and it seems to start. Here is the output:

D:\Games\Steam\naturalselection2>server.exe -name "Oblivion Server - oblivionserver.com" -config_path "D:\Games\Steam\naturalselection2\config" -limit 20

As you can see I get a few messages. Are those normal? I have updated again to see if anything is wrong and I get nothing from the steamcmd.

I am running on Windows 2008R2 server. I have a dedicated ip.

I have opened up ports 27015-16 as you can see below:

I was able to connect to it when I had webmin setup and it was listing players and send rcon commands.

Anyone see what I am doing wrong?

    As a test I disabled the windows firewall and was able to connect.

    Am I missing a port or something?!

    If you disabled the firewall and it worked, then you most likely forgot to whitelist/unblock a port in your firewall, yep.

    um thx for the input but I gathered that...

    I was asking if I missed opening a port.

    Can you add -port 27015 to your command line arguments and see if it works?

    And yes those messages are normal. They should not affect gameplay :)

    Open up the UDP ports, TCP is not required.
