    Hey guys, I'm pretty much done setting up my new server with oxide and I just need a little help!

    Not sure not to get the server to save, so when I shut it down it doesn't completely restart

    Also I can't get my server to show-up on the Rust server page and my friends cant even join through the IP. I have my router setup properly but it seems like I'm the only one that can get onto the server

    Thanks in advance!

    The Rust server automatically saves when you set +server.saveinterval # in your startup parameters or script. If you stop the server properly using the "quit" command, it will also save before shutting down.

    If your server doesn't show up and nobody can connect, then it's likely you don't have the server's port forwarded to your computer in your router.

    Still have issues with the server, I've hosted UnTurned servers before so it cant be my modem? I have 28015 for external and internal ports and my computers internal IP is right and I still can't find it....I can connect to the server myself using the IP but that's about it

    What are the parameters you are using for your startup script? If you are using +server.ip, that should be removed. I'd also recommend testing if the port is indeed open.

    @echo off
    RustDedicated.exe -batchmode +server.port 28015 +rcon.port 28016 +rcon.password "changeme123" +server.hostname "My Oxide Server" +server.identity "my_server_identity" +server.maxplayers 100 +server.saveinterval 3600 -logFile "log.txt"

    Apparently 28015 is closed on my IP, how do I get around that?

    If the port is closed, it's likely not forwarded with your router still. I'd double-check it on your router.

    I have a NetGear Router so it's pretty hard to screw-up. I have both External Starting Port and External Ending Port at 28015. I have my IPv4 Address in for internal IP (auto inserts anyways) and both TCP/UDP selected.

    I've done port forwarding for Unturned before, so I don't know why I'm having this issues? Maybe it is my modem?...

    Also tried making the server over from scratch on the chance I did something wrong on the way, still no luck :p

    Have you allowed RustDedicated.exe through your firewall fully?

    I'm not really sure what I should be looking for in the firewall settings. I just checked and I have RustDedicated.exe in my inbound rules. Must it be added for the Outbound Rules or under Connection Security Rules?

    What version of Windows are you using?

    When you started the server, it should have prompted you to allow it through the firewall. If you didn't select the proper network type which your network connection uses, then it is most likely being blocked. You'd need to change it to be open for all in the firewall settings. See http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/communicate-through-windows-firewall.

    Looks like I'm all good on that end, making some progress now though....my friends can join via IP address, but still not showing up on the Rust Client server lists :p

    So your friends can connect? In your initial posts you mentioned that they couldn't. In that case, your issue is simply that your server doesn't make the cut. The Rust server list only shows 200 servers at a time.
