(It looks like you get a few of these threads, though I can't seem to find a solution to it...)
Ugh... Been trying for the past few days, and cannot seem to get people to join over the internet.
Ports are forwarded:
Although only ports 27040-27049 would be approved by PFPortChecker and port checking sites, tried putting server in DMZ, correct IP and port is listed in server.cfg, server.cfg is executing.
And yet people can't join my server. I have no problem joining over LAN from a different computer, but I can't get friends to join in, either by using the Friends window (which I assumed wouldn't work because I'm connecting to a different IP), or by typing "connect :[port]", where is obtained from whatismyip.org or similar.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, and I thank you in advance for reading to this point.
EDIT: Also, no software firewalls.
