Cannot host LAN server

[Cyrnakka Emperor]

I want to play with my brother in the same network with the same router, but when I create an online server, he cannot see me even in the LAN tab. I tried everything both sv_lan 0 and 1, net_start, then map dm_bounce or using hearthbeat with them. I tried

When creating the server

net_start
sv_lan 1
hearthbeat
map dm_bounce

or on created server

sv_lan 1
hearthbeat
changelevel dm_bounce

and he tried

connect (local IP)
and
connect (public IP)

please help

Are you on the same subnet?

Are you running the Steam CMD Server?

[Cyrnakka Emperor]

Yes we are on the same subnet but I dont use Steam CMD Server. (Noob question. How to use it?)

[thray]

Are you running the beta.

[Cyrnakka Emperor]

No We are not running any beta. We tried it with "public_beta" but it still doesn't work.

Run the Steam CMD Dedicated Server using CPU Affinity then...

[Cyrnakka Emperor]

I would rather use listening not Dedicated server because 16GB more ...

Good luck then...

Don't start the server via console. BM puts SP onto MP. Create server via the menu, it will load DM properly, then use the console to do whatever. That's how it worked for me.

I tried the dedicated server, but still it doesnt work.

Go back to basics then...

If you ever get it working, let me know please. As far as I know, it's all but impossible.

Did you try what I suggested?

[Tilen]

Yes. I started a MP lobby and then did what works in HL2 with the console. It didn't work, to my disappointment. I really wish this could be simplified.

Weird. The only thing that I can think of are ports, but that shouldn't be needed for LAN. Hosting works fine for me.
