Dedicated Server Starts Up, Shows up On Global Server List, But not In Steam Browser

[MovingWatch]

Hi All,

So I'm stumped as to why my dedicated server connects to the internet fine, but I cannot find it on the steam browser list. The Server I created is called Leningradskay Oblast and I can see it in the dstserverlist.appspot.com, see if you can find it.

I'm getting two warnings:

[00:00:08]: [Warning] Could not confirm port 10999 is open in the firewall.
[00:00:08]: Online Server Started on port: 10999

...

[00:00:10]: AddPortMapping(10999, 10999, 192.168.0.109) failed with code 718 (ConflictInMappingEntry)

Any help with this is greatly appreciated. I'm absolutely stumped. I've also attached server log files to this thread.

 

server_log - Master.txt

server_log - Caves .txt

This kind of sounds like the port 10999 is in use. Try changing it to a different port.

How do I do that? By changing these settings cluster.ini files?

server_port = 11001 
master_port = 11001

By default port 10999 is the default server port in the server.ini files. Try changing those.

Changing these settings inside both Master and Caves server.ini files to the same number, gotcha:
 

server_port = 11009

Okay so I changed the server ports but now I have a new warning:

[00:00:12]: [Warning] Could not confirm port 11000 is open in the firewall.
[00:00:12]: Online Server Started on port: 11000

 

what do I do?

 

EDIT#1:  I added the ports 10998 11000 and 11001 rules to the Windows Firewall both outbound and inbound. Added the same ports to the router as UDP. Still no dice. 

 

EDIT#2: Okay so I abandoned the Don't Starve Dedicated Server Tool and instead used the alternative method: SteamCMD.

I downloaded the MyDediServer settings setup from Klei Website and created a batch file that runs that, and it worked.

I have 0 clue on port forwarding/ Windows Firewall rules.

I never used the DST dedicated server tool from steam, always went for steamcmd, and thought they work the same. Good to know that they are somewhat different.
