You may also have to disable your anti-virus or add a rule so it allows incomming connections.

Your IP
If you want to play with your friends on your server, the easiest way is to give them your IP adress.
Your IP can be found here: whatsmyip.org

They just go to favorites in CS and click on “Add server”.
The IP should be typed like this: IP:PORT
Ex.: 183.84.112.50:27015

27015 is the most commenly used port for CS.
