is your friend on your local area network, or connecting from the internet?

if he's connecting from the internet, check your server.cfg in /cstrike/cfg/server.cfg. make sure you have the following value:

sv_lan 0

Thanks for your reply, hes connecting from the internet, but i dont seem to have that server.cfg file, aparantly i was supposed to create it myself..

Many thanks

yes you are supposed to make your own, save it in notepad as "server.cfg" with the quotes. use this to get everything to put in it.


and your friend over the internet couldn't see it cuz he didn't have the right ip.. go to http://www.whatsmyip.org and on the top it will say your real ip. tell him to connect to that (adding the server port at the end of course)

/note- you will still have to connect to the lan ip. which for you is 192.168.0.2:27015

Im back

Everything seems to be running fine on my server, but the one main thing is that my friends cannot see my server when they add it too Favourites, ive posted an atachment of the way the console looks right now.

sv_lan is also set to 0

thats why i said that. you have to give them your "external" ip. the server console won't output this ip. you have to go to http://www.whatsmyip.org and give them the ip that it says on the top of that site, along with the port.
