[quote=McAfee;342539]Depending on the game and how your router works, you may never be able to see your local server using the “online” server browser:
Most game master servers just stream down a list of IPs, and client fetches the rest of the information. Not sure about how Brink works, but in theory this half of the equation would be essentially handing you your Public IP and Port only (along with all the other servers).
Some routers do not do loopback with your public IP very well and would simply ignore those packets, forcing you to revert to your LAN IP of the service in question. It would be like calling your own mobile number and getting a busy signal.
Thus when the game wants to get the 2nd half of the data, It can’t. And the server is simply filtered out.
Best way to be sure your server is listed is from an external connection. Ask a friend to check.[/quote]
Remember this Crytiqal?

Its the same with many games, not just brink.
You would need to join the server from another pc on the same LAN.
