Question about CS and router

[Whitersx29]

I was wondering if there was a way to find out the port number for my ip address. When i try to create it just gives me my lan ip which wont work for other people. I know what the ip address is but the port number changes everytime. Is there a way to keep a consistent port number or a way to find out the port number so people can join my created game?

I thought the port was always 27015.

Sounds like you want to host a game server.

Counter-Strike's ports are on 27000-27015. Forward those ports to the machine that you want to host the game server on and the rest of the internet will see you.

Yep. More specifically, 7002, 27010, 27011, 27015. I forgot what they're all for. The most important one is 27015.
