install counter strike internet server
I am not sure how to setup a Counter Strike internet server. I have the game CD for "half life
-game of the year edition" and also "counter strike retail version". Which one should i install in order
to run my CS internet server. Do i have to install both?
I got to know from server.counter-strike.net that they have a CS server file to download. what is the
different between this file and the one from my game CD "hlds.exe"
which one shld i install to run a internet CS server?

There are two ways to play CS currently, one is by buying the retail "standalone" version of CS, and the other is by downloading the csv11full.exe file from www.counter-strike.net and installing it (this requires the full version of half-life in order to work). If you have the full version of Half-Life then CS is free and available as a downloadable add-on, there is no need to purchase the "stand alone" (retail) version of CS. The standalone version is for people who don't own the full version of Half-life.
That is a little background for clarification.
As for an internet server if you have the full version of Half-life with the CS addon installed you can run the server at a command line like this:
C:\sierra\halflife\hlds.ex
of course there is a lot more that you would want to do to configure your server and that can be found at the server.counter-strike.net link posted above....
the file you see on server.counter-strike.net is most likely the hlds.exe update patch.. the latest release is 1106 and it actualy is a patch for Halflife, you will need this to make your server current.
hope this helps...

I think you should download the server from that website and set it up.
As far as I now you only need to install the server not counter-strike but look at the website for detailed instructions.
