not able to play multiplayer with friends
Recently, I tried playing with friends multiplayer, but they were not able to join my game through IP address or by searching. I set sv_public 1 and also opened 26000 but to no avail. I remember doing it few months ago successfully and even played a couple of games with my friends without using any additional software. Furthermore, I can't seem to retrace my steps. I've checked on the forums and IRC chat, but nothing seems to fix my problem. Any idea on how to fix this issue? My friends have tried joining using 192.168.x.x:26000, external IP address only and ipv6 address followed by :26000, but none seem to work.
