It's always going to show up as a LAN game if you are on the LAN.

Can anyone else join your server via your external IP?
Your local server will always show up under LAN servers even if it's on line.

I'll check but under LAN it's called Team Fortress (which obviously means it's not looking at the server.cfg),and doing sv_lan it says the server is a LAN server (although when I host my Garry's Mod "listen server" it always says its lan even though it's not). Also, should I do my external IP and the port (like "xx.xx.xx.xx:27015") when I give it to people?

Ok so it turns out the servers DO work by giving my friends the external IP. Thank you very much.
BUT it still ignores my server.cfg for garry's mod and tf2 when i do the console version (it's easy to tell since the name is not what i set it to). Help?

If you're getting the error "couldn't exec server.cfg" it simply means it's not there or you saved it wrong (like server.cfg.txt for example)

Well I do I make it a cfg file, since all the tutorials say to just save it as a note pad file as server.cfg!

Did you put server.cfg in quotes and selected "All files" from the dropdownbox in the save menu?

When you look at the folder with your server in it...
Is srcds named "SRCDS" or "SRCDS.exe" ?
