I'll try that as soon as I can. Right now it defaults to 27015 and 27005 as the ports. What advantage do you get from specifying the port?
It seems that people are able to easily join the server through matchmaking, yet when the server isn't available through matchmaking (i.e. exclusive is on) then I can't connect, except through my lan. The ip variable seems to do nothing for me. Since I can't specify the IP to be my external IP when i start the server it always shows up as 127.0.1.1 or my actual lan ip if I set it as that. I realize the documentations says that the IP variable is for when you have multiple IP's, but everybody seems to set it anyway. I could restructure my lan to have my server also serve as my gateway but that shouldn't be necessary should it? It's also a pain in the ass.
