TF2 Dedicated server issues

Ok, I'll try that as soon as I get access to the router again.

What ports do I need to open? Everyone says different things.

*edit*
Looking at other threads, and the run command, you only need to forward 27015, yes?

pretty much, some people have you open other ports and such, but I find just 27015 works just fine

I think I have it running, I can connect, I can execute rcon commands, but I don't know if others can connect. (My friends are not online.) I have set up port forwarding. It does not appear in the games list, but from what I know, this is normal. Thank you for all your help, I'll come back if others cannot connect.

Later, after we have played with the server, gotten sourcemod to work, it no longer shows up in favorites, or under the current external IP of the computer. When I changed it to a local game, it showed up. No router settings have been changed, the port forwarding is still working, and the static local IP is still fine. What could cause this?

Got it working. Not sure what I did. Now onto servermods!
