You need to set the EXTERNAL ip in the start up line & server config. Else your friends will show you as playing on an internal host & won't be able to connect.

Then its only to wait ! I have many servers behind one "router" and I cant set the public ip in startline or server.cfg - then it dont work, so my suggestion is to set the local ip in startline and server.cfg. Good Luck !
