Well, if you've got your router set to forward port 27015 udp and tcp, then maybe the problem is with iptables on your server box. I'm afraid I don't know anything about iptables, so I use Bastille to configure it for me. Have you got iptables set to allow traffic on 27015 both ways, tcp and udp?
If iptables are as much a mystery to you as they are to me, then I highly recommend Bastille. All you need to do is either enter the ports when you run the configuration script, or enter them into your bastille-firewall.cfg in the right variable, and restart Bastille. Bastille also does a bunch of other useful security oriented configuration for your server. Drek Flaming Maniac wrote: > Ah thank you very much Ben Baylis, particularly for that command.
