Ok, here's the senario. I have two computers networked to a router. Both are Windows XP. One computer runs my HLDS.exe server and the other is what I play on. Since the server list won't detect my dedicated server, I have to go through console and use "slist" to display the servers on my network. I have always been able to connect and enter my server this way.
Yesterday, however, I decided it was time for a reformat to clear some of the old crap that is bogging my system down. I wiped my computer clean and installed a fresh copy of half-life. I have adminMod running on the server machine and I have my adminpass.cfg configured correctly because I backed it up before the reformat. Now when I try "slist" in the console, it will list my server. I type "connect 1" like I always have to connect to it, but now instead of going into the server, I now get "Reserved name not valid" (this is the msg I have entered in server.cfg for ppl trying to use unauthorzied reserved names).
I am trying this with 0/8 slots filled. I took away the adminpass.cfg file on my playing computer and commented out (//) the username: password:access_level in users.ini on the server computer and then I finally got connected. But if I leave those commands in, then it doesn't work. I've got my router configured to open ports 27000-27016 for the server's ip address. I can't figure out the problem. What bugs me is that it worked perfect before the reformat. Nothing has changed on the server machine, just on my playing computer. Plz help
btw, other admins outside my network can connect to my server just fine. Its only me who is having this problem... =\
