Hi im trying to setup a cs source ded server on another machine i have here which is behind my router .The server starts up fine says its connected to steam ok ,i can connect to it via lan search but my friend cannot via the net.The problem being that it doesnt show on the net list and we dont know the servers port number.When he sets his server up on his spare machine which is connected to the net via a crossover cable through his pc and not a router it shows on the net fine , when we get the server info up it has a port number ranging from 6000 up changing every time a starts a new server.Is there a way of finding my server port number so he can connect to my server via ip search and not use net search.I have set a ded server on my machine and that does not show on the net but i know the ip and port as it is the default 27015,so when get puts my ip and port in his favs it then allows him to connect.But obviously i can then not play.Sorry for the long winded post but the question still remains how do i find the server port number on the other machine so i can give it to me mate.I have followed all the other posts regarding port forwarding etc and even tried dmz to no avail .i believe if i knew the port number it would work.
