    to start it up without any embellishments is pretty simple. create a shortcut that looks like this

    c:\sierra\half-life\hlds.exe -game ns +maxplayers 20 +map ns_eclipse

    that is all you need to run a server, but assuming you want to run a serious server and aren't fooling around

    1. install serverdoc or gamehost to keep it running

    2. install adminmod and learn how to use it

    3. play on it a lot and respect the players and protect them from idiots

    4. host a website with forums (and stats when available)

    5. get some good trustworhty mature people to be admins. good admins are the lifeblood of a good server.
