Hello GeorGeZ,
It looks like you will have to get in touch with your ISP, lifted this from another site, hope it helps.
Good luck.


"There are times, however, when users who connect to the Internet using dynamic IP wish to allow other computers to locate them. Perhaps they want to use CU-SeeMe or use a VoIP application to make long distance phone calls using their IP connection. In that case, they would need a static IP address. The user has two choices; they can contact their ISP and request a static IP address, or they can use a dynamic DNS service. Either choice will probably involve an additional monthly fee."

I cant see how that works as your IP address is assigned by your ISP, if you change your IP address how will they provide a service ?.
I would get in touch with your ISP to be on the safe side.
If you want to be adventurous, then you could give it a go, just make sure you write down your old settings before you start.
This site says you need to get in touch with your ISP for a static address, which i would say is correct.

How do I configure my static IP address?

Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Not always. DynDns offer a free service and have done for many years.

You would still have the same problem even with a static IP. You need to fiddle with some settings, such as sv_lan 0, and opening the ports Source needs for servers.

You need to have all the ports that are needed open on your router and firewall:

FPSBANANA > Tutorials > CS:S > Server Administration > How to Por

This website explains which ports to forward for routing. It should work, I tried to create a Synergy server, so I could play Half Life 2 co-op with friends, and I kept getting the same problem with only my LAN IP was being shown and not my actual IP address.
