There are more ports to foward. You need 27015 and 27005 both TCP and UDP.

only those 2?

Are you a novice? If so I would'nt be messing around with port fowarding.

Go to Network and sharing Center click Change adapter settings Right click the network adapter you are using and click properties EG: Local area connection for wired and Wireless network connection for Wireless scroll down the list of items and left click Internet Protocal version 4 (TCP/IPv4) Click the properties button select the radio button "Use the following IP address" Type in an ip address, I use 192.168.0.250 subnet mask will be automatic, if not use 255.255.255.0 Default gateway will PROBABLY be 192.168.0.1 if not, go to command prompt and type in ipconfig and get it from there DNS servers I use googles, so I use 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 Click OK and you should be good to go!

Be sure the 192.168.0.[b]250[/b] (or whatever you use) aren't too close to your already used one 10-20. That would conflict and create a mess.
