My guess (and issues such as these are my weak areas) is that 27,9 needs to 
dedicate. If you don't/can't dedicate I would guess that the master server 
won't be able to list you. The master server needs a ping port and it 
matches that port with the IP in the listing. I know from experience if you 
switch either IP or gameport on the fly, the master server relists you.

I'd be very surprised if you can work this out. However if I had to bet on 
someone, you'd probably be the dude to get it figured.
