What does your command line look like? Also are you hosting and playing on the same computer?

When you are running the server from the .bat file, the command line is what the .bat reads.

Well, you need to follow a guide.. There's plenty around.

Also, what game are you trying to get it up for, and are you buying a server, or hosting a home-based server?

Also, if it's a home-based server, is it a separate PC, or the same one?

ok i just want to host it for me and my firends and ppl so its for counter strike source its on my dads pc its home based i gues and the port cant be allocated what do i do??????

Look, you really need to follow a guide like on this website, just goto srcds.com. Almost all of your questions can be answered by following a simple guide. Now for the mani-admin plugin, follow another guide which can EASILY be found on the mani admin plugin website. Now when you follow BOTH guides to the BEST of your ability, THEN post questions.
