[soulless-destruction]

ok so i just found out about esf - earth's special forces
so i have downloaded the most stable version out... esf v1.2.3

and i have all the rquirements..

legal copy of half life 1 and steam

steam seems to allow me to go on servers and play online for half life...

but when i try on esf.... whether it is
find server it will appear
"could not contact master server or online server list"

and when i create a server
it loads for 2 secs and this appears...

NET Ports: server 27015, client 27005
Server IP address ..................................
Server IPX address ....................................
Reading bot_names file... done
Reading bot_chat file... done
Reading bot_personalities file... done
Reading sbot.cfg file... done
Reading skill.cfg file... done
No detail texture mapping file: maps/esf_rosat_detail.txt
LAN servers are restricted to local clients ( C )

what does this mean? what do i have to do to fix this?

Well the error means you are trying to connecto to a LAN server through the internet.

Can you tell me the name of the server you are trying to connect to?
