I know this server works, because it does on my desktop computer, but i wan't to script on the gamemode at school with my laptop, and that works fine, but to test the script i would like to start the server.
So everything is exactly as on the desktop, other than the router being school router, and not portforwarded.

And i believe i can connect to my own server if it's not portforwarded with "localhost" or "127.0.0.1", and i've tried the real IP too, but while the server console and everything is fine, i cannot connect to the server, and it says "retrieving info".

EDIT: Firewall allows the server.

To connect to your own server by your real IP you need to port forward the server (UDP + TCP). Without disabling firewall + port-forwarding server wont work (retrieving..)

You can't configure your school router. As long as they block or don't port forward, you're in the dark.

Also, just get a decent host if you're serious about this.

i know this may sound RETARDED but have you checked the server.cfg

bind SERVERIP
port 7777 (or your server port)

?

This worked on my desktop PC.

But what you mean?

That on my desktop computer i could connect to my server if i put in "localhost" and connect to it, even if it's not portforwarded.
But on my laptop i cant?
