Okay, first of all, you gotta install 'Source Dedicated Server' from the Tools list.<br>
(That shouldn't take more than a minute...)<br>
The server would be ready for LAN now...<br>
<br>
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________<br>
<br>
FOR SURF SERVER: Create a textdocument in "Steam\steamapps\accountname\source dedicated server\cstrike\cfg" and rename it to: "server.cfg"<br>
Open it up with a texteditor and type in:<br>
<br>
sv_airaccelerate 150<br>
sv_wateraccelerate 150<br>
sv_accelerate 10<br>
-tickrate66<br>
<br>
( I don't know the best rates, but that should be enough! )<br>

How to set the Server ONLINE?:<br>
To set your Server ONLINE to the internet, you have to find out your IP, which usually changes with every restart, so we should create a DynDNS Account (don't worry - it doesn't cost anything).<br>
That DynDNS thingy, is just another adress for your IP-Adress, so you don't have to give ppl. your new IP-Adress after every restart. If you say, that you don't care about that, you can skip the DynDNS Steps.<br>
<br>
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________<br>
<br>
DynDNS - Step 1:<br>
Create an account <a href="https://www.dyndns.com/account/entrance/">here</a> - and activate it!<br>
<br>
DynDNS - Step 2:<br>
LogIn and go to MyHosts -&gt; Add Host Services<br>
(<a href="http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/8674/dyndnshostname.jpg">CLICK</a> for picture)<br>
<br>
HostName: "YourNameTestServer" ".servegame.org" (doesn't matter what you take)<br>
Service Type: Host with IP Adress<br>
IP Adress: Use auto-detected IP Adress<br>
Click 'Add to Cart' (just click next all the time now, it doesnt cost anything, and it doesn't ask you for any information)<br>
<br>
DynDNS - Step 3:<br>
Now we gotta download the DynUpDater which keeps that HostName refreshed with your IP-Adress...<br>
Download it <a href="http://cdn.dyndns.com/windows/DynUpSetup.exe">here.</a><br>
Install it, and make sure you selected 'Start with Windows'<br>
<br>
DynDNS - Step 4:<br>
Start the program and it'll ask you for your account data. Type your LogIn information in and click 'Okay'<br>
Select the HostService you just created on Dynamic DNS Hosts and Click 'Apply'<br>
You'll get a message: 'Your HostName is now synchronized with your IP-Adress.' or something like that...<br>
<br>
Everytime you restart your computer, you'll get another IP-Adress, but this program starts up with windows, and synchronizes your new IP-Adress with that HostName everytime you start your computer, so people just have to type in the HostName as IP-Adress!!<br>
<br>
<br>
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________<br>
<br>
If you don't have a router, you should be able to skip this one, but I am not sure...<br>
<br>
Ports - Step 1:<br>
Go to <a href="http://portforward.com/">http://portforward.com/</a> - Scroll down, and select your Router.<br>
Then select "Counter-Strike"<br>
<br>
Ports - Step 2:<br>
Do what the tutorial says how to setup ports, but set THESE ports here up, and not the one from the site I told you... The site just shows you HOW to do it...<br>
<br>
UDP 1200<br>
TCP 27015<br>
UDP 27015<br>
UDP 27000 to 27015<br>
TCP 27030 to 27039<br>
<br>
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________<br>
<br>
Start the Dedicated Server now...<br>
Now people have to type in as IP-Adress:<br>
<br>
What you took as hostname...<br>
Example: ShakeTestServer.servegame.org:27015<br>
<br>

How to add maps to my server?:<br>
Just download the maps you want (or take them from the maps directory) and then take them to: "Steam\steamapps\accountname\source dedicated server\cstrike\maps"<br>
