hi, can somebody please help me?

1) i downloaded an achievement map off this site, unpacked it, and copied it into the tf2 map folder

2) i loaded up the game, created a new game with a server password and all

3) i tried getting my friend to join, he says the server is visible, although he cannot join because of 'LAN servers are restricted to local clients (class C)'

4) i googled for some fixes, and nearly most of them say to put in 'sv_lan 0', but that doesnt work.

does anyone know whats wrong? any wrong steps there?

thanks for your attention :)

You must also set up a static ip address. There are several tutorials around the net which will help you do so.
