first of all. why port 27006?! the servers default port is 27015. and if you have a router you will have to forward the ports through the router first. then basically it should work, but the server itself will always be on the lan ip, and you will always have to connect to the lan ip, others will have to connect through the external ip.

yea, no, 27006 is just what the client communicates through server side, they should not connect through that port. just 27015. and you have to have port 27015 opend in the computer firewall, tcp and udp. also make sure you hve the ports forwarded right on your router. and also, make sure sv_lan is set to 0. with all of that in place is should work. and the whole ingame ip, that can be set to anything in your server.cfg file with the cvar, ip <externalip address> but it doesn't have to be set.

ok, I have that port forwarded, so i'll just make sure sv_lan is set to 0 and have my friend test it and then be back here if I have any more questions
