Can't Create Servers

Hello all. Recently I made a Combat map that I wanted to show to my friend. However, whenever I made a server using "Create Server," he could never find my game in the server lists. He tried to make a server as well and I could not see his game on the server lists. We made sure not to have LAN checked in the box under Options, but still can't find a way to create an internet server that we could join.

Does anyone know why this is happened and if there is a way to solve this very annoying problem? Thanks in advance.

    if he can't see it don't worry don't mean it's not there.

    if you using default ports just give him you ip:27015

    should still be able to connect.

    How would I go about finding my IP, friend?

    BTW, I'm using Win XP.

    start > control panel > network connections ...

    right click on local area connection.
    check the "show icon in notification area when connected"
    goto destop right click on new daul monitor icon bottom right corner in taskbar
    double click it
    press support tab
    and bobs your uncle a IP <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Well I tried the method below and gave my friend my IP after I created a server. He said that the connection kept retrying and he couldn't get access to the server. So now what should I try and is there a reason why my server is not listen under Internet Games as well.

    After attempting, my friend also added that he got the following error: "Invalid Steam User ID ticket."

    Any help is very much appreciated so I can continue work on my map. Thanks.

    Nevermind. I'm a complete idiot and can now run a server after using the "sv_lan 0" command in game.

    However, does anyone know how I can go about changing the name from "Natural Selection 3.0" to something like "CousinPhil's Cool NS Server?"

    Change the "hostname" field in your listenserver.cfg file (or server.cfg if you change to a dedicated server)
