i could never get my dedicated server to show my external IP. it always shows the LAN IP even if its set up for the internet. i had to go and find out my external IP. this site will show you your ext. IP http://www.danasoft.com/It works, huh?
also my dedicated server never shows up on my server list. either i have to go in the console and put "connectect 198.0.0.3" or use a program like Xfire or ASE to connect.
Also the skybox is recreating my entire map when i compile it.
