Server People cannot connect

[mallic]

I forwarded all the ports and my server is visible on the main list, yet when people try to connect, it just stays at the connecting to server screen. Does anyone know why this might happed? I am using a fairly normal config and the only thing I changed on it was the server name. All of the crucial things needed to boot the server (game length, difficulty, map, vac) are done through the startup command line.

The only thing I did on the ports is instead of doing all individual ports tcp or udp, I forwarded them as both to save entries on my router. I also used port range for 7707-7717

check to make sure you have completely updated the server code, sometimes you need to run the hlds update tool more than once to get your server fully up to date. if all else is working right then sounds like it could be version mismatch, when you look at your server details in the browser it should say v1010 as of now.

otherwise keep an eye on the ucc output when players try to get in, you would see the network activity for each player as they connect. 3 events will be logged for each player when they make a successful connection:

>Open myLevel <date> <time> <ip: port>
>STEAMAUTH : Accepted Client : <steamID>
>New Player <username> <steamID>

any deviation from this process could give you a clue to what might be preventing players from connecting.

Make sure you have added exceptions in Windows Firewall as well. Verify using canyouseeme.org.

will try your suggestions.

and I am not running a firewall on the server because I have a router which does the same thing when the box is not going to be dling anything by itself, I have to copy all files over

Update:

It does not show anything when someone tries to connect, it just idles at connecting. And while I see it on the internet list (my router allows redundancy) I cannot connect unless I go through the lan. Here is my start up console:
