Hi,
What kind of router do you have? When you set up NAT, you also want to set up port address translations (PAT) for 27015 and 27010 to goto the correct internal private IP address from the Internet. (BTW-This has nothing to do with "loop back" which is 127.0.0.1 and used mostly for interface testing). Here's an example with PAT enabled: Unsolicited Connection Request --> Port 27015 --> Public IP 16.139.48.225 --> Private IP 192.168.1.225 Here's what happens with PAT unconfigured: Unsolicited Connection Request --> Port 27015 --> Public IP 16.139.48.225 --> PACKET DROPPED BTW-You also need to create a mapping to allow ICMP to that private address as well.

I have a LAN and an Internet Connection on my machine. Everytime I start the Server it takes the IP of the LAN Device and send it to the Master Servers. So Nobody can connect to my Server if he dont know the correct ip. Is there any way to tell the Server which IP it should sed to the master servers? thx Pakmann
