How do I get my server to work through the internet listing?

I have set up and port forwarded a DarkRP server, on Garry's Mod. When I go to local game, and select play, it works.

When I search the Internet section for my server, it pops up, but when I select it, it does not work. When other people try to join me through the Internet section, it does not work. When they select my name, and select join, it works.

The IP given on the Internet section is listed as starting with 99. The IP when you select the game through me is listed as starting with 198.

By default your server will be running in lan mode which means it doesn't announce itself to the public server lists. You can take the server out of lan mode by changing the sv_lan setting in your garrysmod/cfg/server.cfg file.
