Port 28015 Open, Unable to see in server list or connect

Sorry for another one of these XD.

I can't for the life of me figure out what the issue is this time around with getting my server online. I've had no luck getting either an Oxide modded or vanilla server to be seen on the server list. I have done it before, using (what I remember to be) the same rules as before - however, it no longer works.
The machine that is the host is running Windows 10 and is plugged directly into the router. The port forwarding rule that I'm using is set up as follows:
WAN Interface: ADSL_DEFAULT (not sure which WAN interface I should be using)
WAN IP: (left blank)
Start Port: 28015
End Port: 28015
Translation Start Port: 28015
Translation End Port: 28015
Server IP Address: (host machine's local IPv4 address)
Protocol: TCP/UDP

Upon finding that this rule didn't seem to be working, I added both inbound and outbound rules in the Windows Firewall for the same port (28015) and the same IPv4 address. Still didn't work. Open Port Check Tool also reports the port as being closed on my public IP address. I've attached my batch file for what it's worth.

Positing here hoping someone can shed some light and offer some help as my friends and I have been waiting for a week or so for this forced wipe so we can start our own and have some fun.

 

So far I've only tried connecting to it from a separate computer, which is also on the same network.

Thanks for the quick response

 

That's the issue: I'm not lol. I can't see it in the server list from my machine so I can't connect to it. I can connect to it locally though from the host machine, but only the host machine.

 

When connecting to the server via the host machine, I use the in-game console (F1) to type "client.connect localhost:28015". I am able to connect via this method. However, when I try to connect from the public server list from my other machine, I cannot see the server, and therefore am unable to connect (on that machine).

 

The way my home network set up is a bit weird, which is why I have the host machine plugged directly into the ISP provided modem/router. I then have another router that we use for our Wi-Fi, which is what my other machine is connected to. Because of this setup, I cannot locally connect to the server from my other machine, I'm effectively trying to connect to it from another network. Either way, if I'm the only one that's able to get on it the server won't serve much purpose. I'm trying to get it publicly online so that my friends can join. I'm just totally lost as to why the port 28015 doesn't seem to be open after I've done everything I know how to do to open it.
Thank you for helping btw, it means a lot.

 

Just tried it but to no avail. The error I get is "Disconnected (Connection Attempt Failed) - returning to main menu". There also isn't any sign of a player attempting to connect in the server's console.

 

Double-checking it? How so? Double-check the port forwarding settings? I've got it set up as follows:
WAN Interface: ADSL_DEFAULT (not sure which WAN interface I should be using)
WAN IP: (left blank)
Start Port: 28015
End Port: 28015
Translation Start Port: 28015
Translation End Port: 28015
Server IP Address: (host machine's local IPv4 address)
Protocol: TCP/UDP

 

Do you think it's a conflict between the network setup I have, or something with the server?

 

You dont have the server.ip in the bat file

 

Ohh, didn't notice that. Thanks for pointing that out. I added the IP of the host machine and restarted the server but to no avail, still couldn't connect. I couldn't connect from the server list nor from hitting F1 and typing "client.connect [externalIP]:28015"

Any other ideas?

 

use server.ip 0.0.0.0

 

Okay, I'll try it with that and let you know if it works. I tried it with the IPv4 address before.

 

Here you go you had a lot of things missing

 

Oh wow, awesome. Thanks man, gonna give this one a try real quick and see if it works. I've got all the ports open on my network, so hopefully it was an issue with the .bat file I had made.

I tried your provided .bat file and still wasn't able to see it on the public server list. I can only connect to it locally.
