I don't exactly see your problem?

Are trying to get your L4D server online?

- Sv_search_key does NOT work if you have a dedicated server on a different PC (than the one you play at) in your network. Problem = It forces you to connect to your external ip instead of letting you connect via your internal(network ip). [confirmed]

how the heck can you tell that your server is not on the public list anyway?

Sorry been abit busy this weekend ^^ openserverbrowser in console.
none of our 20 or so servers show up in the server list.
alot of customers are moaning at me Sad

thanks for clearing up the sv_search_key thing Wink had no end of customers asking how to use that. I had no idear it was for lan games.

when i was hosting a l4d server it seems to work fine with just sv_region, sv_steamgroup and nothing else in the cfg. This was a steam->tools server though. I don't know the first thing about stand alone servers.

I tried a Server with just
sv_rconpassword
and
hostname "hostname"

and then setmaster add. None of my attempts seem to get this going.
I have no problem people randomly connecting to the server from Lobby conncting and filling the server all day, but in to public list would seem more popular.
