Yet another "my TF2 server won't appear in the server list" thread

[MjrNuT]

On this go around, I didn't say to do DMZ.

I didn't say changing the port to 27016 for the server was going to prevent listing, it would only prevent you from joining.

your startup line in your OP, change to the following:

do a stock map first.

Code:

-game tf -console +ip WANIP -port 27016 +maxplayers 24 +exec server.cfg +map cp_dustbowl

WANIP = your public IP address.

or this

Code:

-game tf -console -hostip -port 27016 +maxplayers 24 +exec server.cfg +map cp_dustbowl

Disable Windows Firewall.

If this does not work, then I'm done dewd and sorry.
