Probably, the answer is “Nothing is wrong”. A bug in some routers or the NAT specifications (at least, that’s how Z-Man sees this) causes the response to the server query packet used in the server browser to come from the LAN address of your server, not the public address it was sent to. The packet gets ignored then. A workaround will be available in 0.2.8.3, but right now, that means most people can’t see their own servers. Come to the IRC channel (#armagetron on irc.freenode.org) and ask people there if they can see your server.
