This is so frustrating. This is the fourth time I have set up a TF2 dedicated server and I have had this same problem every time. It usually magically fixes itself, but I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.
The server works, it runs fine on Ubuntu and is on a dedicated system, separate from the one I play on, and hooked up over Ethernet.
I can see it in LAN and connect to it, play on it and everything, but no one over the internet can join it.
sv_lan is set to 0.
My startup command is this:
tf2/srcds_run -console -game tf +port 27015 +maxplayers 32 +map mvm_coaltown
Server shows it has a public ip, and connection to steam was successful.
My router is ASUS RT-N66R and I have forwarded ports 3478-4380 and 27000-27050, both TCP and UDP for all, to the correct internal IP.
I host a Minecraft server on port 25565 over the same machine and it works perfectly, and I have run TF2 servers on this net before, so I know my ISP isn't blocking anything.
The server is Ubuntu 12.04 64-Bit, 6GB of RAM, AMD Athlon II X4 645 (quad 3.1GHz). Internet is gigabit fiber. So there's really no reason this shouldn't work.
Yet despite having all the settings in place, I still can't get anyone on from outside the LAN. I've been banging my head against the wall for hours...
