Check your /etc/hosts file.There must be 2 entries at least, one for
localhost pointing to 127.0.0.1 and one with your external IP pointing to
your hostname. Compare the IP with your ifconfig setting, it must be the
same. I had the same problem, there was a typo with the IPs and that caused
a local routing problem.
Best regards
Ronny

Totally disabled the iptables

No joy - it must be a hardware firewall stood in the way.. i think???
Annoying
Thx for the help :)

Don't rebuild quite yet!
Make sure the server is set to have a static class C IP (eg 192.168.X.X).
In ubuntu this is located at :
/etc/network/interfacesOr, just to test if you're not comfortable, type:
ifconfig
It should return results that look like this:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:40:CA:8C:BB:4D
inet addr:207.188.214.12 Bcast:207.188.214.31
Mask:255.255.255.224
inet6 addr: fe80::240:caff:fe8c:bb4d/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:19739688 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:22418575 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:2210680297 (2.0 GB) TX bytes:12003409488 (11.1 GB)
Interrupt:17 Base address:0xc000
eth0 or eth1 is what you're looking for. In my case, the IP is
207.188.214.12. For you it would likely be 192.168.X.X. When starting your
server, use that IP.
screen -A -m -d -S tf2 ./srcds_run -console -game tf +map
cp_dustbowl -maxplayers 24 +ip 192.168.X.X -port 27015
On the router side, make sure you are correctly forwarding the required
ports, and then attempt to connect from the outside.
