Can I get a bit of help with a server? - Flash - Sep 03, 2009
I want to set-up a personal server
However, the main problem is that the IP on in the GUI appears as the LAN IP, 192.xx.xx.xx
How can I change it so it will display my internet IP so people can join?
Also where can I get CFG's dedicated for servers, and what ports do I need to forward in my router?
Thank you

It doesn't matter what the GUI displays. What you really need to do is forward port 27015 on your NAT/router to the server machine. You can find out how to forward a port on pretty much any router here:

Then all you need to do is tell people to join your public IP which is here:

Thank you.
Can you not host a dedicated server on the same machine you want to join that server?
I got steam validation rejected.
Also, where can I find the cfg's locations. I went into Dedicated Server 2007 folder in my steam folder and there is no place to put the server cfg.
Btw, I am using the TF2 dedicated server found in Tools, not using any other application like hlupdate or whatever it's called.
