Strange problem.
#1
Hey guys,

I've finally decided to post this thread, because I'm stuck at a problem I cannot solve. :S I won't go any further, unless someone helps meh. >_>

The following server was supposed to be a LAN-party. But it wouldn't work!

Problem: Connect to it (server). >_<

Progress:
I've successfully updated the server files via 'steam update tool' or whatever you call this these days. :d Configured the server config file, as well. (I guess it's ok.) Created shortcut to the HLDS execution file, added ' +exec server.cfg +port 27017' to the command line.. All fine. Server running. Now I'm launching the game. Looking at 'LAN servers'... Nothing. Trying to get the LAN IP in.. (with 'connect')... Wouldn't work!
Now, just for TEST I unplugged the internet cable.. but it wouldn't work either. 'Server not responding.'
What's the problem? Have I missed something? :S

I'd be glad if someone could help me at this point.

(P.S. I know about the forwarding ports, but it's not my problem, is it? I mean it's gonna be a LAN server, not Internet...)

I believe You still need to forward the ports to the computer that is actually running the server.

I don't understand. Why would I need to open t3h ports in a non-internet server? -.o :p

'You gently move your mouse to the navigation menu on the left and choose the next category! Modems don't require port forwarding because they connect directly to your computer/server.'

Ooookay, but it's still not working. We're talking about >> LAN <<, not internet, right? O_o

Doesn't have to do anything about portforwarding, it's not needed for LAN.

First of all, make sure the server loaded a map, the server won't show up without a map loaded (+map de_dust2 for example)
If above point is already done try the following:
Disable firewalls or any antivirus utility and see if it works then.

No, I tried to load a map, but it doesn't work, anyway.

Firewall / Anti-virus disabled, but I still can't see the server.

I'm deleting the server files, and reinstalling them again. Hope it'll work.. >_>

Didn't work... Not even LAN. The only way I can set up a server is just 'New game' in CSS main menu.

I'm stuck! o.o
