Hello all, new to the forums but have owned many D-Link routers. Dlink ftw!

Anyways, I am a member o***aming clan =DiG= and we have quite a few TF2 (team fortress 2) play servers (6 to be exact). We just recently formed a competition team and unfortunately we cannot use our regular play servers for practice any more. So, I took it upon myself to build/setup a TF2 dedicated server.

I am by no means an expert at any of this but I do know my way around a PC, the server OS is new to me though. Here's the setup...Asus P4S8X-X w/ Intel 3.06GHz 2GB matched DDR Ram; running Windows Server 2003 Enterprise edition DNS enable (not configured), I have it running through a Gigabit ethernet NIC and attached to my Dir-655. I have a Dlink DDNS account as well as a Dyndns.com account (free) and a paid No-IP.com account. I own a couple of website with IP's that I can use if need be.

My main thing is I guess, I am unsure how to configure the router and server machine to "match up" or whatever.

more after work...

Best way to get that server setup. 

After that, just assign the machine a static IP, and make sure in the command line field, you denote it with a -ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx and -port 27015, which is the standard port configuration.

And THEN, after all that is done, go ahead and setup a Gaming Rule for "Steam", and you'll be all set.

If you don't know the ports, check portforward.com/cports

I honestly wouldn't bother with a named dns server, but rather just an IP address instead.  Much less hassle, especially if you are running it off of your home connection.
