Post your server.cfg and also add this to the startup

Code:

+exec server.cfg

Some of those cvars are old and broken. Clean it up to only things you need and it should fix the problem.

[sh4dower5]

which are old and broken?

[Mooga]

I don't know off hand and it isn't throwing any errors.
Just start deleting things that you don't know what they do.

Maybe some of the bot commands.

wow that is some of the worst advice i've ever seen, in regards to anything... and from a staff member of the site no less

[CountChocula]

You seriously are an ass people are trying to help you and you come back with Worst advice ever.

[Arjen]

More info pls...
what windows version you're using?
is there anything in the windows logfiles or in the srcds logfiles?

Change your rcon password now you post it here. Another tip: make different passwords for rcon and sv_password ...

There are plenty of newer config files out there that you can use. I have not memorized all 500+ cvars. If I had a server up and running I would go through and test it, bit I currently don't have a system I can test on.

Also, I assume you are NOT running any plugins?

Since your new to setting up srcds servers, I'd go read this guide.
http://planethalflife.gamespy.com/View.php?view=HL2Guides.Detail&id=4&game=3

Code:

c:\srcds\srcds.exe -console -game cstrike -tickrate 66 -ip XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX -port 27015 -maxplayers 16 +map de_dust

You forgot to add -ip , -port, and also you don't need -autoupdate...I heard it only works if you have a linux system. For the ip, you need to put a static ip (ex. 208.77.188.166)...not your router ip (ex. 192.168.100.1) that you receive from connecting to router. For the -tickrate you can use values of 33, 66, or 100 depending on your connection. For the -port, I'd go with the default 27015 unless you prefer another port, but you should read the guide so that you don't pick ports that are already reserved for other purposes in running the server.

If you have any other plugins running, please list them out so we can better understand the problem.
