Windows 2000 Server or Server 2003?
Also, what's your startup command?

[DARKreaction]

windows 2000 pro and my start up command is something like -console -game "Counter-
Strike Source" -port 27015 +maxplayers 16 +map de_dust

but i never get to enter it i cant get it to even open

[Mooga]

did you try updating with -verify_all ?

[DARKreaction]

this is my first server so how do i do that what program do i need to open

[DARKreaction]

bump for response

[Drocona]

Don't need to bump,

anyway, your problem is that you are using -game "counter-strike source" in the server startup command, that command is only for updating the server (the update commandline is also the place where you add -verify_all).

If you replace that -game "Counter-Strike Source" with -game cstrike the server should boot properly.

dude thx your amazing its starting up as i speak hopefully it workes completely

[DARKreaction]

but its not showing up on my lan or the server list

[Drocona]

According to that console log, it should be in the LAN list on IP 192.168.1.96, unless you are hosting and playing on the same machine (Never host and play on the same machine).

I can't help you with port forwarding or getting it on the internet, for that I suggest taking a look at the FAQ's we have on these forums. It should have everything you need on getting it online.

[DARKreaction]

well ftm i need it on lan gona get it online latter but i actually set my comps internal ip to 192.168.1.14 but it keeps resetting it to dhcp and i tried it on that address and it still doent work
