Dont restart :rolleyes: It should take a few mins to actually show in the internet games list, so be patient.

put sv_lan 0 in ur listengame.cfg
u can set other options there too...
make sure u forwarded the ports if u have a firewall / router.

listengame.cfg (as well as several other CFG games) can be found in the main ESF folder.
located either in C:\sierra\half-life\esf (WON)

or C:\valve\steam\steamapps\accountname\half-life\esf (STEAM)

hope this helps...

also...the CFG files can be edited by opening them in NOTEPAD or another text editor

Mind expanding on this while were on the topic? I've been having a prob with my firewall and can't get my servers to show up since i've had it.

I too cant make a servre online and I cant even choose a name for my server
which is a very stupid bug Imo

Im using steam and I've never noticed an area for typing the names of the servers...
and my lan thingy is off as well
and the only name I see for the server after I started it is HALF LIFE
thats a stupid name for an esf server wont you agree? if thats the ESF defaults then its not a wise one I say

how can I make internet games this way?
pplz cant niether see me or join me

you might have to port forward - depends on the router model how to do it.
