You can't use 0.0.0.0 for mm_force_dedicated_servers. I mean, I guess you
could, but then you're telling everyone else in the lobby to connect to
0.0.0.0. I can only take a guess and say that it's possible that 0.0.0.0 is
voiding the rest of the variable, which may be why you can't even connect
when the value for that CVar is: 0.0.0.0|192.168.0.10:27015. I'd have to
test it out and see for myself, but 0.0.0.0 might not even be valid not
because it's not a real address, but because you're not including a port
after it. I think Source games will default to 27015 if no port is
specified, but I don't know if mm_force_dedicated_servers knows that.
'connect' does. Try using the real IP:port in place of 0.0.0.0 and see if
you get anywhere. Because you don't have a static Internet IP, you'd just
have to change that value every time your IP changed. I don't believe
there's a way around that. DNS names are not resolved.
A better option for you to consider would be to make your server a Steam
Group server. When you're in the lobby as the lobby leader, you have the
option of connecting to Official Dedicated, Best Available Dedicated, Steam
Group Server and something else(maybe Local Server?). You would select
Steam Group Server. When you decided to start the match, you're brought to
a screen that lists all the Steam Group servers that are attached to all the
Steam groups you belong to. You'll see yours there. Select it and all the
NAT traversal is taken care of for you.
Either way works great so long as you have it all properly set up. With the
details you've given us, I can say that you definitely don't have it set up
correctly.
