This is a confirmed bug on steampowerd
forumshttp://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=751344
- "Dedicated servers behind NAT/router with local LAN IPs are unconnectable via
direct 'connect'-command through console, or Steam Group Servers-list. These
NATted servers can be connected via the normal matchmaking lobby. Checking the
console after a failed connect reveals the cause: [L4DMM]
CMatchmaking::ResolveDedicatedAddress(192.168.0.12 :27015).
L4D matchmaker somehow digs up the internal IP address, instead of the external
one, even if the game does connect to the correct external IP initially
(console shows the external IP as well, before resolving it again to the
internal one). Was present in the demo, and is still present in the full
version." [confirmed]

problem, and had been tearing my hair out for over a week, it
didn't work in the demo version either.

seeing the same thing on one of my servers that has to use NAT. Leaving
it open to the public lets people join fine, and so does using the connect
command. Setting our steamgroup and having sv_steamgroup_exclusive 1 won't
let anyone join from the Steam Group Servers section, it just drops them to
a lobby.
