Ok, here is my problem. I have two computers, one that connects directly to the internet and the other (the one that I mainly use) connects through it. I am trying to set up a ds on my router and so far it works fine, I've managed to get it to recognize its external ip address and it appears in the server lists.
The problem I get is this: the ping shows up as "?" as does the map name. The users shows as "0/0". If I add the network ip address to the server lists, it works perfectly and I can join. But, I want to set it up for myself and a few friends to join over the net. Nobody but me can join. Sv_lan is 0 btw... I have gone through Steam's tech support pages and done all the stuff that they suggest. I have even emailed the address in the hlds readme file. None of this has helped. In fact, I think it has made it worse as before, I could see the ping and the number of users allowed (still couldn't see the map name or connect). I tried it on a friend's pc with version 4.1.1.0 and it showed up perfectly but gave me the message of lan server only local connections etc... blah blah blah... In this case, I couldn't get round it so I updated to the 4.1.1.1 standalone server. This then gave me all of the above errors. Any thoughts/suggestions would be a blessing.
