Yup! Tx for lettign us knwo how it worked.
I never tried a LAN game behind a firewall so I didn't know.
But it looks like it works the same for LAN or Dedicated server.

The outside world will see the IP address given to the router by your internet provider, even though the real IP is the 192 one. The catch is that when people try to conect, they connect via port 27015 and the router has to know which one of the many pcs on the inside to send these requests to.
