can't get server off LAN

[jdmneon]

hey i'm trying to run a dedicated server and it only shows up on LAN, at the beginng we set the network to internet but it still only shows up on LAN, it cannot be found in the server list and you can't connect to it, what is the problem?

Are you behind a firewall or router? You need to forward your ports.

Did you set sv_lan to 0?

[jdmneon]

yea SV_lan is set to zero, don't you do that in the console?, do you need the password to the router to be able to forward ports? can someone give us their server config?, I went to that website but i'm still having trouble
