and he cant join mine. i posted in the help but nowone responded. please help

I told my friend about this game and he couldn't wait to download it.
Anyway, i created a server and he couldnt join it. It says it's not responding. And then he created a server and it says it's not responding. we were planning on being on each other's team and kick the crap out of bots. But we cant join each other's games. we can join other servers, just not each other's. can we join each other's games or not? Thanks in advance

Is this online?
if it is, try doing sv_lan 0 in the console.

When you use the sv_lan 0 command, it disables the lan game (thats what it makes when you go to create server) and starts a public server.
Use the command that Orion and I suggestd.

if its with ESF 1.2.1, there is an option disabling Lan mode, when i was using 1.2, i also had problems setting up an online server to help a few noobs, even when i tried that sv_lan 0 command it would work sometimes. Use the ESF 1.2.1 toggle lan mode on/off function.

when you create a game, it should be in the 2nd menu as a tickable box
P.S. Refrain from double posting

Are either of you behind a router or firewall, by any chance?

No, neither of us are behind a firewall. We both have them shut off. With my comp, i cant create a server on ANY half life mod. it always says server not reponding. But when he creates it with other games, it works. it only doesnt work with this mod.

Then u would have to forward the right ports..Im behind a firewall and router..I couldnt create any games on half life before i forwarded the right ports..Forward ports 27000-27050 i think..Just check on Steam site cuz im not sure..And then after u forward ure ports go to create game and after u create ure game type sv_lan 0 in console..Then it should work
