I have a 3Mbps cable connection and Belkin router. I install and run SrcDS on my computer, whose IP is 192.168.1.4 on the network. Because I use a Wireless to Ethernet bridge, I can also use 192.168.1.10, which is the bridge's second IP, which is pingable. I then forward port 27018 to 27018 in the router, so that, theoretically, I am able to connect to the server on 27018 from my external IP, which we'll say is 123.456.789.123. When I try to connect to 192.168.1.4, the server allows the connection. When I try to connect to 192.168.1.10, it doesn't allow it, and when I try to connect to 123.456.789.123, it doesn't either (I use :27018 at the end of the IP addresses).
I then tried using the -ip switch in the launch options to set it to 123.456.789.123, and that didn't work, nor did the 123.456.789.123:27018 that I tried later. I also tried doing "ip 123.456.789.123:27018" and "ip 123.456.789.123" in the console, to no avail.
Does anybody have any ideas? It seems that the server will not accept connections that point to an IP address anywhere other than what the server detects.
