You have to forward your ports before you can host a server on the internet, if the ports are forwarded correctly it will succeed in establishing a connection.

Please search for portforwarding

As far as I know now is that you have to be real lucky to be able to host and play on the same machine, but again you SHOULDN'T

Switches just spit it so you can have more computers on the network. Your router will assign you your LOCAL IP.

If you can't access the router on your network, then contact your building's tech support and try to request an inbound port.

But how can I join my own server while hosting?
I NEED TO KNOW! lol...
I got RPG, SURF, Zombie, soon DM... Quake sounds...
Why can't I join ANY server while hosting? And please if you know that, then explain it detailed to me...

It is probably something Valve made because most people cannot join any servers. I can but that is with outdated files. So the latest update probably stopped people from hosting and playing from the same computer.

Valve made steam. Valve is the actually company. Steam is just the delivery system.

What do you mean not online? Is it working or just not able to be seen?

Okay... I can't see it, but the VAC Secure was activated... Maybe it's because I'm behind a router on my laptop...
