L4D Dedicated Server halps

[GrimGriz]

I'm trying to set up my gf's PC to run as a private L4D dedicated server and can't figure it out....

I think I routed the ports properly, but when I run dedicated server from teh tools menu, it always shows the internal IP as the server IP (and I don't know how to look for specific IPs with the game to test it out). When I google and such, it seems like they always want you to DL a 3rd party program...and that the tutorials are from when the demo of L4D came out (before the dedicated server tool was released?)

All I know is that those servers are a bit odd because of how the lobby system works. The only person I know who runs their own server from time to time is Gowness. Maybe he will pop in here and give you some advice.
