People are often asking why when they type "sv_lan" into their server console they are given this message even though sv_lan is set to 0
Code:
"sv_lan" = "0"
- Server is a lan server ( no heartbeat, no authentication, no non-class C addresses )

This is a know (at least to myself) as a bug. As long as your server is set to sv_lan 0, your server is NOT a LAN server despite this message claiming it is.

May I add to this that no matter what your sv_lan is set to, it will always be accessible to both the internet and the LAN.

It seems this command is bogus and really doesn't do much at all other than causing confusion!
