My LAN server isn't showing in the Steam browser, it's visible in other software for example "HLSW" and i can use the console to connect to it but it does'nt show in the browser. I have searched for this issue but i haven't found a solution on any forum. i need the +ip for HLSW to work with rcon and the -nomaster since the LAN the server is running on does´nt have an internet connection.

Does anyone have an solution? i want the server to be visible in the browser.

I was hosting simultaneous DS's for a LAN party in July, and found that the IP of the server machine needed to be assigned by DHCP. If you set your server's IP to be static then the server browser throws its toys out of the pram and won't display it. Rest assured, this pissed me off because I wanted to emulate several IPs off the same NIC, but had to resort to a range of different ports as none of these static addresses would be displayed, and trying to tell 16-20 people to remember three seperate IPs is neither fun nor easy!

Well i think that where about to find an solution...

The thing is i had to change the port to 27015 for it to show.. but when i read about it i should apparently add 20 ports if i want to run 2 servers?

27015,27035 etc

And can i run an Cstrike 1.6 server on port 27015 on the same server or will there problems with the ports?

EDIT: The samer error exists for cs 1.6 but it isn't visible in the steambrowser if i use the -nomaster directive. Hopefully it will work without internet access and without the -nomaster directive specified...

Ports are specific access points for services running off the same IP (games, mail, web, ftp etc), so in response to your second question, no, you'll have to define different ports for any game server you want to run simultaneously.
You are obliged to at least specify different server (-port 27015 by default) and client (-clientport 27005 by default) ports in your launch script for each simultaneous server you want to run. I know there are additional ports opened for each server instance, but in my experience they work off the key ports and resolve themselves, and you must ensure that your IPs are assigned by DHCP.

P.S. Not strictly relevant, but when's the LAN party due and how many are you expecting?
