I'm almost embarrassed to admit... I'm running the server on WinXP Pro 32bit. It runs like a dream in LAN mode, I only have the problem trying to configure for a public server.
I've poked holes in my firewall (27000-27020 UDP, 27020-27050 TCP) and I have run other game servers in the past, so I don't think my connection is to blame.
So far it's been 100% failure. We have 3 computers on our network, and all 3 consistently have the issue. I don't think anyone has connected over the internet because I never see it listed in the search results. I have to use the console to connect to it.
I did play with the server.cfg, but like I said it runs great in LAN mode. Here it is:
// *********** SERVER & PASSWORD INFO ***************
// Change it to 1 if you want a LAN only Server
sv_lan 0
// Change the number to the region you live in!
// 0=US East coast, 1=US West coast, 2= South America, 3=Europe, 4=Asia, 5=Australia, 6=Middle East, 7=Africa and 255=world
sv_region 1
// Give your server a name here
hostname "JMedia - Goldeneye Source Beta 3"
// Rcon password is used to give your server orders by using console, so think of a good password
rcon_password "*****"
// If you want your server to be private, fill in a password and delete the // in front of sv_password
// sv_password "*****"
// *********** GAME SETTINGS, YOU CAN CHANGE THESE THE WAY YOU LIKE IT ***************

mp_timelimit 20
mp_fraglimit 50
ge_roundtime 600
// In our testing we found this variable to make it easier for a particular exploit.
// Best to keep it disabled until we find another way to handle it.
// 1 = Forces the engine to use light physics... better server preformance
sv_turbophysics 0

mp_chattime 10
// *********** Rates ***********

sv_minrate 10000
// Maximum updates per second that the server will allow, increasing this will take more cpu power, 100 is max
// 66 max, 50 min rate clamping reduces hit-reg problems.

Let me know if I messed anything up
