i need help in making a dedicated ns server... now i got the server computer all ready, rigged it to internet and got half life and ns installed....... now what???

i need ur help asap as i need this server up and running ASAP!

+ if u install steam and run ns through steam, will i have to log onto a new account with same cdkey (oh noes! lol) and will that mean that i can still play at this computer while the server is running dedi server through steam in the account???

HELP MEH! lol

The Steam HLDS will require a seperate Steam account (although not a CD key).
Your target line would look something like this: "C:\HLServer1\hlds +port 27014 -game nsp +map co_tfc_2fort +maxplayers 12 -console".

You may play from the same computer via your CD-keyed Steam account but make sure you add the port to your HLDS as I did.

what files do i need to download, could you give me a big list of them if you can, many thanks
