FIRST OFF:
Counter-Server cannot provide help with every single make and model of routers. We can provide you with the basic information you need to forward the ports, but you must READ your routers manual or website to find the exact procedure used to forward them. On occasion, we will provide tutorials on how to forward ports for certain routers, but in the meantime, please save some time by reading your routers manual on forwarding ports before you post here. Thank you.
DMZ IS THE EASY WAY OUT FOR INDIVIDUALS THAT DO NOT KNOW HOW TO USE A ROUTER. If you place your server in the DMZ you are completely bypassing your router. You might as well just throw your router away and plug your server directly into your modem. It's doing absolutely nothing for you. If you forward the correct port, ONLY the CS traffic will be allowed into your machine and through the ONE port.
From Linksys (for example)
DMZ Hosting allows one user to be exposed to the Internet, bypassing the Router's firewall security while the rest of the network remains protected.
The DMZ feature exposes a single PC outside the firewall. If you are trying to run video-conferencing or programs that require 10 ports or more to be opened, use the DMZ feature.
Caution! When using the DMZ feature, you do not have firewall protection for that PC.
If you are behind a firewall or router, HLDS will display your INTERNAL IP on the screen, NOT your EXTERNAL IP. This is not a problem.
Go to Gametiger to see your server with EXTERNAL IP.

(Just to be technically complete )
To find your INTERNAL IP:
Start > Run
Type cmd in the open line.
When the console comes up, type ipconfig /all
The IP address listed is your INTERNAL IP.
To find your EXTERNAL IP:
All you need to do is visit http://www.whatismyip.com
<hr>
If you are behind the firewall or router, connect with your INTERNAL IP and PORT
If you are connecting to someone who has a router, connect with their EXTERNAL IP and PORT
Now here comes the important part.
If your server shows an internal IP, theres a good chance that you need to forward ports from your router to your server computer. Please read the other pinned topics on how to specifically do this for your router. The only incoming port that you need to have forwarded is 27015 UDP, (Or whichever port you changed the server to use), but others will argue that you need 27005 UDP open as well for some routers.
This topic has been summarized and moved here from the old board. Thanks to Scorpion, DK and others who contributed to it.
