cant find my server

[j0sh212]

Hello, i need help with my server. Ive done everything as instructed in tutorials etc. ive got ports forwarded all files downloaded and everything is loaded. sv_lan set to 0, sv_region set to 5, but it still cant be found or connected to. i can connect to it through lan no problems, but my mates cant, i had a couple of people join it yesterday, so its there, but no one i know can find it. i have gone through the forums and done everything that yous have said, i was just wondering about some extra help.

thanks, j0sh

p.s feel free to add me to msn: josh_dee21@hotmail.com (or email me at this adress) or add me to xfire: k0ntr0l212

There most likely is a misconfiguration in teh router somewhere or a firewall blocking some ports.
It might also take a while before it shows up, when you are behind a router or gateway it takes longer than a direct connect (don't ask me why).

You might want to try to connect your machine directly to the internet, see if it works then. If it does the problem lies within the router.

i have also tried direct connecting it, and it still doesnt work ;/ i have also tried forwarding different ports, turing all firewalls OFF and dmzing but it still doesn't work i really want this server to work, because im sick of other laggy servers and gay admins lol..

Are you sure every firewall and virusscanner or whatever adware/malware protector are not blocking it?
If so it might be your ISP, you won't see your server in the list then.
