Trying to start a dedicated Linux Half-Life server
After downloading and installing(http://www.fileplanet.com/58368/50000/fileinfo/Half-Life-Dedicated-Server-v3.1.1.1-[Linux]) on my Debian Linux server(+ setting up configuration):
/home/hlds/hlds_l# ./hlds_run -game valve +ip <iphere> +maxplayers 24 +map rapidcore +coop 0 +deathmatch 1
Auto-restarting the server on crash
Console initialized.
Protocol version 46
Exe version 3.1.1.1
Exe build: 22:35:19 Apr 29 2003 (2378)
Error connecting to Auth server: ES_INVALID_ADDR
Auth Server
Server IP address <iphere>:27015
Trying to authenticate with WON servers
Error connecting to Auth server: ES_INVALID_ADDR
No auth servers parsed from }
Disabling Valve Authentication.
No masters parsed from valvecomm.lst
Using default master
I then issue in another terminal window on same server:
#lsof -i
hlds 3446 root 4u IPv4 15846 0t0 UDP cm-<iphere>.getinternet.no
So I know it is listening. I then ping the server from the client, all OK. I then start Half-Life via Valve and click "Find Servers" -> choose the Favorites tab -> enter the ip address (also tried ip:port) -> press "Find games at this address." I then receive the reply: Server is not responding.
I can't find more documentation. Is there a way to get this running?
Configuration looks like this:
/home/hlds/hlds_l/cwc# more server.cfg
/ Use this file to configure your DEDICATED server.
// This config file is executed everytime the server changes levels.
// disable autoaim
sv_aim 0
// player bounding boxes (collisions, not clipping)
sv_clienttrace 3.5
// disable clients' ability to pause the server
pausable 0
// default server name. Change to "Bob's Server", etc.
hostname "Dedicated server!"
// maximum client movement speed
sv_maxspeed 270
// 20 minute timelimit
// mp_timelimit 20
sv_maxrate 8333
sv_minrate 0
sv_maxupdaterate 40

I am not wanting to start a Counter Strike server, I want to start a Half-Life server.
My server is directly connected to the internet, no firewall in between.
The IP is not fixed, but the refresh rate is weeks in between and I use dyndns.
Configuring for internet play.

Do you have the HLDSUpdateTool?

How is the client connected?

Do you have the HLDSUpdateTool?
- Can't seem to find anything update'ish under the install folder.
How is the client connected?
- It is connected via a Debian NAT router that is totally open with no restrictions when it comes to that client. Shouldn't be a problem, I connect to other servers on the internet just fine.
