Noctaire:
I can see and was able to connect to your server by direct query but
could not see it by general query in the server browser or in 3rd party
lists (game monitor for example).

Since the hostport shown in the direct query was 27015 you apparently do
have your firewall and router set right but being unable to find the server
in the general browser virtually always means that you are not publishing
the external IP for a server behind a router doing nat.
You must use "-ip <external ip address>" in the server launch options for
your server to become visible to the general public (not +ip).

Important note:
You won't be able to see your own server in the server browser if you have
both the server and your client behind the same router, use a 3rd party
browser like gamemonitor to check and make sure you got all the launch
options set right.

Subject: RE: [hlds] Running behind a firewall, getting the external IP to
register....
It cant bind to an ip that it doesnt use, when you forward the ports
directly to the server any connections being attempted on those ports
are translated to your servers local ip so just set it to your local
ip.
Oh, I understand that of course. Problem is, the server doesn't show up
in the list of available servers; i.e., it's not in the public server
list.
Anyone running behind a firewall?
Got the server up and running -- no sweat. I piped 27000-27030, TCP &
UDP,
over to the box. I can play it on the LAN, no problem.
Now, having it update to the outside world...that's another story.
If I start the server with the +IP command line parameter and use the IP
on
the firewall's external interface, the server chokes and shuts down. It
is,
of course, only showing up on the client side as being on the LAN.
Suggestions?
