i just tried the -ip command again using my local ip like you said (i thought you said external...i just skimmed the post) and it seemed to load with no problem other than the failed to $include errors. but i cant seem to find it in my lan tab of my tf2 game. it wont show up. and when i open my console and type "connect (localiphere) it just failed after 4 retries and brings me back to the main menu. i have the ports forwarded but even without them forwarded i should still be able to see the game in lan.
