srcds wont show up on main server list... sigh

[city wok]

ok well ive been working on this server trying to get it up for the past 2 days, ive fowarded ALL nessary ports and i tried without ANY FIREWALLS ON but no matter what i do I CANNONT get this server to show up on main list my friends can join if i give them my external ip.

Also id like to point out that about 4 hours ago i thought i had it working there were acctully people joining my server and it showed up on http://www.gametiger.net.

However now its not showing up at ALL and people are not joining... and the ONLY THING i did between now and then is update my network adaptor driver, could that maybe have an effect on ports?? please help me

Well, if people aren't joining then apparently you did something wrong with port forwarding. Look around for guides on how to set it up. Are there any errors?

You're wrong there. If people can join the server if he gives his IP to his friends then he have done it right. I have same "problem" as you ... It wont connect to main server list. Only thing you can try is enabling DMZ function in your router (If it got one). Or last thing is to buy a modem and it will work for you

OHH I din't see that part about that they can join. If they can then the ports are forwarded correctly. Does it say "Connection established ..." ?
