Title: My router is somehow blocking access to some Counter-Strike: Source servers.
Post by: flipdesk on February 13, 2019, 09:41:42 AM

I made a steam forum post already so I'm gonna copy/paste to save time.

"If I wire my computer directly to my modem I can see and connect to servers just fine. But when wired through my router I can only see some servers, and if I try to connect manually to the servers that are not showing I get "server is not responding".

I could connect to the servers while wired through my router only just a week ago and there wasn't any changes since then, to my knowledge. Both computers in my house are having this problem so I think it must be the router.

I have a D-Link DIR-625, I've tried disabling all of the firewall options, disabling QoS and UPnP, resetting it and the modem with the reset buttons, and adding steams ports. Nothing worked."

I know it's an old router but I noticed FurryNutz is still active here and seems to be very helpful so I was hoping maybe you know a solution before I have to buy a new one.

What modem do you have?

Enable UPnP. If it is disabled, you will need to open ports to the computer running CS.

Counter-Strike: Source
TCP: 27015-27050
UDP: 1200, 3478, 4379-4380, 27000-27030

My modem is a Cisco DPC3010.

UPnP is enabled but I tried adding the CS ports anyways and it still doesn't work.

I've tried all the troubleshooting suggestions on the Router Troubleshooting Suggestions and Tips post. Still no luck.

Firmware (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=47512.0) version is currently loaded? Found on the routers web page under status.

Put the router in DMZ to the IP of the computer running CS. If it still does not work, something else is blocking it.

The firmware version is 3.08 which is the most current version, the older firmware version wouldn't let some wireless devices connect with WPA2 enabled so I had to update a while ago.

I set up DMZ and it still doesn't connect, I tried both computers. So I guess the routers not blocking it but I can connect if I wire directly to the modem still so that's pretty confusing.

It fixed itself. Must have been Steam's problem.

Glad it was a SW issue and not a router issue. I would not recommend using the DMZ.

Enjoy.  ;)
