I think I'd sooner blame your router then steam. What is your external IP, what is your server name, what ports did you forward, did you forward incoming and/or outgoing ports, and who is your service provider, and how exactly is your network/router configured, IE what path does your server take to get to the Internet?

--- begin cut --- Okay, I dont want to dump another 309$ into my router because of STEAM.
Here we go.
The steam networks retarded authentication breaks on NAT. We have a server which we would like to have publicly available, with an externally supplied address. Our customers route to our SLS server, and then bounce out of external address. When they try to route to our server, our router just bounces them to our external, yet they connect as the internal scope (192.168.1.100-125).
This of course, throws out an invalid STEAM UserID ticket error, because the original IP that was used to register to the master servers doesn't match the connecting ip.
Anyone else have this issue and have a resolution?
ps. Nat-On-A-Stick will not work, we will bake our Cisco 1721. Already pushing 50% at peak times.
---- end cut ----
any other clues guys?
Thanks in advance,
Adam
