Error no ip assigned

[Dreadric]

Hello, I have been running a SE:DS for a few day now for me and my friends, it has been working fine until today. now it suddenly tells me there is no ip assigned, and I don't know what caused it. I am using the server manager to run it.

Edit: also from what I can find in the logs there are nothing that helps me, unless I checked the wrong logs.

Same... Doesn't matter if I set it to 0.0.0.0 or my actual internal IP address, it always says there's no IP assigned. Even went into the config files for the save and verified everything there was ok. Ports are properly forwarded (this isn't my first rodeo), but nothing I do can get it to start. Always the same error "No IP Assigned"... Which is ridiculous since two seconds before saying that it says the Bind IP, which is correct.

Tried recreating the local instance, didn't work. Tried creating a new (service) instance, didn't work. No matter what I try I can't get the thing to start.

Hi, I don't have much experience with servers but I use at home sometimes, I followed the Official guide and it worked on the first try.

If you need, here is the Official Guide, just scroll down a bit to see :

That is a important part from the Official Guide :

ROUTER AND FIREWALL SETTINGS

a) Static IP:
If you intend to run a game that people from all over the Internet can connect to, you will need a static public IP address. Your internet service provider should tell you whether you have one or not. Without the static IP address, you will be able to host a dedicated server on your LAN, but people from outside the LAN won’t be able to connect to it.

b) Port forwarding:
The game uses UDP protocol to communicate. The default listen port is 27016, but this can be changed in the config tool. In order for people to be able to reach your server, you will have to configure your router to forward all incoming UDP traffic on port 27016 (or any other that you have specified) to the computer where your dedicated server is running.

c) Firewall settings:
Make sure to set the firewall on your server computer to allow incoming UDP traffic on the listen port.

thank you, followed the guide earlier, it has been a bit on and off lately. one day it will work the next it wont. seems to be fine again for now, just had a mod issue instead for the past couple of days.

This error is a bit misleading, it shows up when game has troubles with getting your IP from Steam Network point of view, which usually means that Steam is wonky. That's also why it sometimes works and sometimes not.
