My friend and I have founded a clan (Lamda Squadron @ lamdasquad.com), and I have been trying to set up my computer as a dedicated server (not 24/7) but I use and need a router (dlink DI-524) and therefore need to forward my port. I checked out and followed to the tee portforward.com, or whateever the f%^k it is, and it just doesn't want to work. I was hoping if anybody could just post as a reply or email to me (mac212188@cashette.com) the exact settings that you used. Thanks a lot for your time. If you are still reading this, thanks, becasue most people would have laughed at my n00bish ass and left already.

Thanks, that was helpful, but I also need the "name" of the service using the port forwarding. I have tried both "steam" and "steam.exe" and niether work.

Do you need to configure that on your router? With the router I use I don't have to assign a service name, it also sounds weird that it won't accept 'steam' or anything like that. You should consult your router's manual for that, what brand/type of router do you use?
May the Source be with you...
Want to know which
ports to forward on your
router for a Source DS?

If you are running a dedicated server try srcds or srcds.exe as the service using the port name and see if that works.

you should be able to name it just about anything.. i think i named mine like "server" and then when i ran a hl2dm server for like an hour, and i named that one temp.. on a router anyways.. if your talkin a firewall.. it would problem need to be directed to the srcds executable file.
