Hi there,
Hope this helps you a bit:
1) I assume you are behind a router or gateway to the internet, when you join your server you will show up joining the network IP of the server. This means that when your friends look at your game info they will see an IP like "192.168.x.x" Which they can't join since these IP's are local. Your friends have to connect to the external IP which you can find by going to http://www.whatismyip.com

2) What I'd like to know is the upload connection speed, thes machien is capable of running at least 30 slots. If you are hosting from your house, the bandwidth will be the limiting factor.

3) You can set map specific settings with mani admin plugin, I'm pretty sure it can't be done without the use of a plugin. You'll have to look up the documentation at the mani website. An alternative might be ES_tools or some Mattie plugin.

4) You can add new maps to the server by putting them in the <Basefolder>\cstrike\maps or <Basefolder>\hl2mp\maps, whatever mod you are running. Next thing to do is open up maplist.txt and mapcycle.txt located in the main mod folder and add the mapname to it.
You can search on the net for some custom maps, just search on the mapname you'd like on google.

If you have any other questions feel free to ask.

Did you add it to both mapcycle.txt AND maplist.txt?
If so, does it give an error or simply nothing?

last, what command are you using to change levels/maps
