Server Wont Show on Steam List

[LOLMadness]

I can see and connect to my server locally and it runs fine, but when I try to connect to it thru steam list or thru external IP address, it does not show up. I have my server set to DMZ on my router, linksys WRT54GS v. 5. i am running Windows Server 2003. Any help?

You can only connect to Your own server via LAN (internal IP)

The router is the issue. I had that problem as well with another. After doing extensive research it turns out it was the router. it would show on master list for a brief time then go away... but people can still connect to it if they go through console. The only fix for this is getting a new router or connecting directly to modem.

Bingo, I had the same problem with our BT voyager. We use a Netscreen Firewall now and there are no problems.
