I went through this a few times, as have others here. Do the following: 1) Tell us which router you have. I used a Belkin router and could never get it to work. Belkin tech support was worthless, and I never got it to work. I got rid of the router, problem went away. 2) Make sure there is no firewall or other device running that prevents outgoing ports from being opened. Many routers have a firewall that defaults to on that will cause your server to not be in the list. Turn it off, or set it to allow outgoing ports to be opened and stay open. 3) Make sure to run hldsupdatetool, as an out of date hlds installation will prevent the server from being visible. 4) Post your server name and IP so we can take a look at it from the outside world. 5) Don't go opening a whole bunch of ports. The only incoming port you need is 27015 (or the port you specified for your server). All other ports are outgoing ports and are psuedo-random by hlds and will be assigned by your router.
