<div class="IPBDescription">by a new server builder</div> OK, here's the deal. I have just bought and rebuilt a IBM Netfinity server. I've installed W2K3 Server and am now trying to set up HLDS. I have read through everything on these forums that i can find, and everything on the steam forums i can find. There was a step by step link to installing HLDS but i can get my dos prompt to change to the d drive where i have downloaded the files to.
I have installed steam, but not any games yet. Do i have to log-in to steam with my account to download the game files? or is there a way to just download the neccesary half-life files?

Could not establish connection to Steam servers.
how you correct this depends on how your internets set up.
Do you have a router?
Do you connect through another computer?
Does the computer with the server access the internet directly?
The way to solve situation 1 and 2 are almost exactly the same, set up something on the router or the gateway computer to forward the port used by your server to the local computer address shown.
The way to solve #3 is simple replace the local address with the public address since they both refer to the exact same computer (ones just unusable beyond your local network). you can get your public address pretty easily, a very simply way is to go to a site like www.whatsmy.com or www.whatsmyip.com or whatever. theres hundreds of them.
then people should be able to connect to your server from the net through your public ip.
i.e. creat a shortcunt and in the target field
"C:\path\to\hlds.exe" -game ns +ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx +port XXXX -map
Please help me.
