Setting up a LAN ds

Hello,

Backstory:
I am new to ds as well as linux and have started a project with a friend of mine who owns a local computer shop. He has recently moved to a new location which he owns and we have been framing, sheet rocking, etc for a new LAN center area to help build a local community of gamers. I have taken it upon myself to learn how to run and operate a ds for the LAN and hopefully someday beable to host tournaments. I have about two weeks into learning these things and have read a lot but I am now stuck.

Question:

I have my Linux server up and running (fedora 17) on a Dell server rack. I have configured my firewall and router here at my home for testing purposes. I installed steamcmd was able to install csgo and run it with the blow command line:

../cs_go/sh steam_run +ip "192.168.1.144"

I was able to port forward to the internet and it was visible in the master server list. I then killed my routers port forward for 192.168.1.144:27015 to try and host it under a LAN server. It will not populate in the lan tab under the server browser nor can I manually connect to it through console. When I ran this same thing on my windows 7 personal computer it populate easily and we were able to connect to it as a LAN. I have also altered sv_lan 0/1 and neither seem to help the situation. Do I need to be running a switch? or is there commands that I am not familliar with through Linux? I apologize if my questions are ignorant but many of the information out there is a little above my head. I am reading the linux guide (http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIALS/) but I cannot figure out why it is able to be seen by the master server and not the LAN server.
