The "loopback" that Lythium was referring to is the ability of the NAT device to allow a connection attempt originating on the LAN interface side of the router to connect to the WAN interface IP, and then be NATed back thru the LAN interface to an internal LAN private IP address of the HLDS server. This allows an internal LAN HL client to connect to the public IP address of the HLDS server, instead of connecting to the private LAN IP address of the HLDS server. BTW, good to see you back on the HLDS list Lythium...hadn't seen anything from you in a while. You still active on the CounterStrike forums?
