help configure?

[ramzy_cstriker]

Okay I am so new to the srcds stuff and I have no idea what I'm doing. First of all, I have no idea what the server.cfg is. I have no idea what the Mani Admin Plugin is. My server doesnt even show up in the internet search (only on LAN even though I have it set to internet). All i know haw to do is to create the server and play alone on it (kinda sad). I need help on how to get all the configuration for the server and how to actually play as an admin. Can somebody kindly explain to me ALOT of the configuration/comands/etc?

**extra info: Counter-Strike Source. srcds is installed on my computer, not on its own router or something like that. Oh yeah I use the Steam GUI program too.

Use the srcds instead of steam.
It needs to be running on a different box then you play on.
And since you are probably behind a router (if it's at home) you need to forward your ports.

Start with that.

Since you are on the same network as well, it will only show in LAN for you.
