If you want to be the lobby leader and bring a lobby, including you, into
the server behind your NAT, use:
mm_dedicated_force_servers "externalip:port|internalip:port"
You'll have to use this before creating the lobby as the console is no
longer available while in a lobby.
If you're just trying to connect to it without using a lobby, then you'll
also have to add:
sv_allow_lobby_connect_only "0"
to your config.
