I am retired from GameTracker after 11 years and will not be responsive for support requests. Hello, Did you whitelist the scanner IP's in order to get scanning to work?

Hi th3hitman! If you are successfuly able to add your server to GameTracker then in most cases it means that everything is done alright as when GameTracker's scanners are able to scan your server then it means that your server is accessible from the Internet. I generally recommend people trying to host a server themselves to test there Firewall and Router settings by trying to add the server to GameTracker. So players should not have any problem in connecting to your server. Maybe there is some problem or error with the cs of the person who you asked to join your server. Also do note that all the machines which are using the same router as your server's machine i.e they are on the same LAN; will only use the LAN IP of your server in connecting. You should use a program like HLSW ( Half-Life Server Watch) www.hlsw.org to scan your server from another PC with a different connection to make sure that your server is accessible from it.

You cannot use your WAN IP to connect to your server from your PC on which the server is running. You have to use your LAN IP to connect yourself. People from over the Internet will only use the WAN IP to connect. To put it simply, you have to use the LAN IP and other people will use the WAN IP.
