Well i have recently got a source dedicated server and i am in the process of troubleshooting. The problem is when people try to join it it says "server not responding". So i opened all the necessary ports on my router management and windows firewall. I am using my external ip for the server. I am behind a router. It is a Seimens Speedstream 6520. I'm on wireless internet with a Trendnet 108Mbps 802.11g Wireless PCI adapter. My command line looks like this "C:\srcds\srcds.exe -console -game cstrike +map zm_lila_panic -maxplayers 10 -autoupdate
Thanks

Wireless is part of your problem.
Did you set your server to have a static internal IP address?
So you don't need to change port forwarding option?

The hard way is through the router.
The easy way is within your operating system to set a HIGH static IP address that is unlikely to be assigned to others

Private dynamic Ip you can set to static
External dyamic IP you can't do anything about unless in some cases your ISP lets you or makes you pay for it.
Always make your internal/private IP static.
If you do the port forwarding correct it will show up on the list.

You can use a DNS same that dynamically links to your dynamic external IP.
Something like no-ip can work.
