i have been trying to do this for a couple of months now. I am trying to set up a source dedicated server on Steam which is a client for playing games and talking to people. Also on Steam is a programme to make a Source Dedicated server for a couple of games i play, which are Day of Defeat:Source and Counter Strike: Source. I open the free software and it starts the server making tool asking how many spaces on the game server i want, if i want passwords and the name. I complete this all and click "Create Server". everything looks like its going fine until i find out no one can connect to it. It says on there that the server ip is 192.168.2.2:27015 which is my internal ip. but it should be 86.133.4.225:27015 which is my external ip. i have allowed the programme through my firewall, i have tried to forward the ports but nothing has happened. I have a Belkin wireless router if this helps. my ip is 192.168.2.2 and my external ip is 86.133.4.225
please can you give advise that can help me.
cheers
James
