Me and My Server

Thanks to Del, Rurairo and others for helping me reset my server.

Had a few teething troubles which I thought were related to the new router. Turns out it's down to sv_allow_lobby_connect_only 0 not being set.

I also managed to test my connectivity to other servers but found that I can host locally and the people in the lobby will follow and the game will work.

The last stage was to test search keys: sv_search_key.

My server is set to "bbloke" so I set my L4D game to the same and search for a game and I ended up on my own server.. absolutely seet.

I've also set the steam group to Festers so it should show up when the game is run if my server is up.

Cheers fellas.

If you want to try an ensure you end up on one of the servers when you are the lobby leader then bring up the console and type

sv_search_key bbloke

or

sv_search_key Festers

not sure if

sv_search_key bbloke, Festers

works.
