they say inclusive because some people would interpret that range as every port inside the two numbers.
i'm not sure how anal you have your firewall set, i have a freebsd firewall and mine works fine, but i do not filter any outgoing data. incoming you "shouldn't" need anything other than 27015, but i may be mistaken.
an easy way that i use to troubleshoot stuff like this is to make your deny rules log, and then look at the logs when you start the server and such, and see WHAT is being blocked so you can fix it.
let me know if you need anything else

I am trying to figure out why my test server at home is not getting on the master list. My server at home is running on Windows and is behind an OpenBSD firewall. The firewall is connected via ethernet to my modem and the firewall is what obtains the IP from Comcast (my ISP).
Every page I look at on the net seems to offer different ports for forwarding. The Steam site says this:
UDP 1200 UDP 27000 to 27015 inclusive TCP 27030 to 27039 inclusive
BTW, why does that say inclusive? Isn't that redundant to the "to" part? But I see many other ports like 7002, 5723, etc. I think those may have been for WON though. Currently I am only forwarding port 27015 to my internal IP. Although I have done the following with no better luck (yes I know there is unneeded stuff in there, I was desperate):
TCP & UDP 1200 TCP & UDP 7002 TCP & UDP 7030 TCP & UDP 27000 thru 27015 TCP & UDP 27030 thru 27039
I have my sv_region set to 1, I have refreshed the list for the world and for US west. I see my primary servers (co-located) but not my test server at home. People have successfully connected to my test server by adding my external IP to their favorites list. This is with just port 27015 being forwarded.
My current pf rules if any one cares are this:
rdr on fxp0 proto udp from any to any port 27015 -> 192.168.0.17 pass in on fxp0 proto udp from any to 192.168.0.17 port 27015
Anyway, I have seen many other people on the list with this problem but never wanted a home server to be on the net until now. So no I'm in their boat. I searched the list but it doesn't appear any one ever got this problem solved. Thanks for the help guys.
