no its in my garrysmod folder
thanks that worked but now banip.cfg and banid.cfg arent working, but i dont think i need those

also, how would i go about getting the server not to host on lan only, i changed the cfg file to no lan but it stays on it

You will always see it as a LAN server. But you will need to do several other things before your friends are able to join.

Check your file. If it says "game.cfg" change the name to "server.cfg" that worked for me

No the software itself is free to use for online purposes. However your internet provider may have another eye on it. Who is your ISP?

Hoping another Comcast user could give some information about this.

But to do the trick within your area go look for a portforward tutorial on the internet. Smile (http://portforward.com )
