The desktop icon is bugged, and will not give you NS as a filter option. Delete the icon and find the "play NS" icon under start/programs... Drag it to the desktop an use that shortcut instead. When filtering: select NS and make sure you DO NOT select "anti-cheating" or you'll find no servers. While functional, the built-in search utility is not all it could be. I recomend you get Gamespy to look for servers (they're under Half-life/mods/NS). A lot of people prefer All Seing Eye, but you have to pay for that. Gamespy is free as long as you can put-up with the pop-ups. Good luck!

You do not have to register it, only if you want extra features, similar to GameSpy 3D.
