I've been trying to set up a dedicated server for the L4D2 demo and although it works and I can connect to it, it doesn't seem to allow connections from the internet.
I've configured it according to the instructions here but I can only connect to it by selecting the Steam groups option. When I try to ip connect I get the error "connection failed after 10 retries". I also noticed that when I select the Steam groups connection, the server shows my client ip as 192.168.x.x when I would've expected it to show my external ip.
I've read all the guides I can find on this, but I can't find anyone else who has this problem. I've tried altering the server.cfg file and the srcds.exe command parameters according to various setup guides, but no dice. Can anyone suggest anything else? I'd appreciate any help I can get.
edit:
I got this working by forwarding ports 27000-27040 UDP/TCP and changing server.cfg and command line parameters from 27016 to 27015. I also reinstalled srcds but I think it was the other changes that did it.
All players can now join and my server is listed in the server browser.
