Interesting, I use a Linux based firewall/NAT/DHCP, and have a Public Linux CSS server running behind it. I have never had a problem joining the server with my Win XP box using either the WAN IP or the LAN IP. I thought that in the case of the Servers IP and Steam it only needed the IP for the server list. We actually run the server and 2 clients off the same IP........
