Usual my server won't work nonsense

[favus]

Set up a steam server, followed all the plans (as you do) read all the docs, its up and running - and it doesn't work - I have tested my port forwards and even though my web server is accessible externally, my zomboid server is not. 

 

I can telnet to my web server and it works (to test) but when i telnet to the zomboid port it says it can't connect (internally) however - I can connect to it with the game locally - Everyone is busy here so i can't get them to test if it works for them internally - here are some screen shorts in case you see something utterly stupid i have done/failed to do... 

 

 

I have turned my router firewall off and my computer firewall off to test, and its not that, so I am at a loss, can anyone help??

update! I realised from looking there my TCP ports are wrong, but i have since changed them to be from 16262 to 16271

here are the ones i just added and changed (I noticed in the server window i had to forward 8766 - although the port forward site tells me this port is closed!

Assuming you've given the server a unique name, go to the public server list in game and try to find your server. You can search it by entering part of its name in the filter on the lower-lefthand side of the screen.

My server does not show up as a public server in Zomboid... so i guess it's not working proper

Hm, looks like the ports are set up correctly. Wonder why it's not communicating with the list. What antivirus do you use?

 

If you want to avoid the listing stuff, use -nosteam (add it after after the zombie.GameServer call in the start-server.bat file) and then add it to the launch options for Project Zomboid, on Steam (right click -> Properties). You should then be able to connect directly with (locally) 127.0.0.1

I am not bothered about it being on steam, I just want it to work, I Have been through it with a fine tooth, The Port forward for my web server is FINE that works, if i run the software the port is open, close it and the port closes, all i can think is the server software is not opening the port up, no idea why...

only antivirus i use is Microsoft Defender and Malware bytes... it's nowt to do with that
