Needing help setting up home server

[J0K3R 5 93]

Sorry in advance for long winded thread.

Im trying to run a home server with Arma 3, the problem is I can join the server on LAN.

But it doesnt show up on the server browser, so no-one else can join it.

I know its something stupid, that Ive done.

So can some kind person help me out.

Also can someone help me, with setting up the correct settings for my Arma3.cfg file

The home server is a Dell 2950 poweredge gen 3 with dual quad core X5460 with 20gig ram and 6 hard drives in raid.

"steamqueryport" is useless because it is automaticly set as your server port+1

On your port config (4th spoiler) : 2300 is not open ! You set it for steam this is why your server is not displayed on server browser.
