1. Code:
    RustDedicated.exe -batchmode
    +server.hostname "placeholder"
    +server.identity MyRustServer
    +server.maxplayers 50
    +server.port 28015
    +server.ip 0.0.0.0
    +rcon.ip 0.0.0.0
    +rcon.port 28016
    +rcon.password youcannotseethepassword
    +server.worldsize 4000
    +server.seed 61471247
    +server.saveinterval 600
    +server.description "placeholder"
    These are my settings for the start.bat

    Am i missing anything allowing players to join the server? How i know players cannot join is because when i attempt to join with the outside ip it doesnt load, But it does with my pc ip.

    the ports are forwarded also
     
  2. If you can join from your LAN (not just your local host!) then it's likely that your routers port forwarding is not configured correctly.
    If you cannot join from your LAN (only from the host you're hosting the server on) then you need to open the ports additionally in your Windows firewall.
    Open 28015 and 28016 for both TCP and UDP (it might be enough to open 28015 just for UDP but I'm not sure).
     
  3. I have opened the ports for TCP/UDP for both. I can join from my LAN but not outside ip. But i think i know what the problem is, Usually when my pc loses internet i need to restart it, I'd forgotten to do so when it happened to ill be trying this now and ill reply back with the answer.
    [DOUBLEPOST=1469464533][/DOUBLEPOST]Yes, that was the error Hahahah! ... Im such an idiot ;) Players are able to join now.
