I have a Netgear router in between that computer and the cable modem. I've
set up port forwarding for that computer's IP for ports 27000-27050
TCP/UDP. Here's my startup command:
*srcds.exe -console -game left4dead +ip myinternalip -port 27015 +map
l4d_hospital01_apartment.bsp +sv_lan 0 +sv_pure 2*
I've also used that same command line without +ip and -port. SRCDS is good
about detecting the IP and it works just as well without those two variables
in the command line. It defaults to port 27015 without a -port defined, but
that's what I want it on, so I'm good with that.
I'm not really doing anything special with my server.cfg. I've used
sv_allow_lobby_connections_only 0 and 1 and I get just as much traffic
either way. This command was removed and re-added(I think), but the
functionality of it remains unclear.
Are you hosting the server on the same machine that you're playing Left 4
Dead on?
