Yup.  Can you try opening the console and doing the ol' connect IP:port ?

Try with your lan IP (should fail), then try with your wan IP (might work).

I've noticed that when I simply click on the server from my steam group list, 
it tries to connect via the lan ip (and fails).
If I try to connect to an existing lobby, it works.  Probably because 
connecting to a lobby results in feeding a "connect ip:port" statement with the 
wan ip, not the lan ip.

Once this is figured out / patched / whatever, I need to figure out how to get 
the search key working with it.
I don't like having to join the server (when I can) and then call a vote / rcon 
to switch game type, map, and difficulty.
I'd much rather prefer to join/create a lobby, let it fill up, and throw the 
search key in to get to my server.  (Valve also needs to fix the bug where youc 
an't bring up the console while in the lobby).

When I try this now, all I get lots of waiting then bam, I'm running a local 
server.  There's no popup message asking if you would like to run a local 
server (like there was in L4D).
