I can't create servers on VALVe games, what's up?

[KuchiBoy]

I'm trying to forward my ports to play half-life with my friend (Steam version), I did everything correct, and he couldn't join. So we tried TF2. Same thing. Then we tried Garry's Mod. He couldn't connect. I ported all the ports correctly, what's going on?!

# Service Name    Start Port    End Port    Server IP Address
1     Half-Life              27015      27015         192.168.1.3
(I'm not editing the rest, :P)




Edit: I made the server.

Download that and see if your ports are REALLY open.

Do you have TCP and UDP enabled?

This happened to me but only when they tried to join through my name on their friends list. They were able to connect through console and server browser though.
