I host a listenserver of MS and I'm connected to FN. I use it to play with a friend of mine. But one thing we noticed is that it never shows up in the server list. He connects by connecting via my external I.P. My server was in the list yesterday, but has never been before and isn't now (It's up as I type this).
Also, I installed (I think) the files that allow you to spawn on a map even if you aren't in the right area/transition. But it doesn't seem to work?
Edit: Just to add that, sv_lan is set to 0. Typing Status in the console says my IP is a local address (192.169.X.X) yet my friend joins by an external (82.something.something.something). My computer is on the routers DMZ and I also have the half-life ports all forwarded anyway...
