How do I set up a CS Source server?

How do I set up a CS Source server? I wanna play a game with my buddy over the net but I can only seem to create a LAN one. Cheers!

If you're not looking to setup a dedicated server on another machine <you can run HLDS and CCS on the same PC but it's not recommended> but if you're not, Try this in console "sv_lan 0" on the host machine once the game has loaded.

If you're looking to set up a dedicated server then the easiest way would be for you to just use Steams dedicated Server under the Tools menu in Steam it's a small download <it's pretty much a GUI version of the normal HLDS, plus it's only for you and your mate> it makes life alot more simpler if it's your first time. : D

Don't forget to open up the ports you need to host.

If all you want to do is play with your friends, i would recommend getting Hamachi.

Hamachi will create sort of a LAN between the people you let to enter your Hamachi server.

After this, just create a LAN server inside CSS and tell your friends to look under LAN servers, your server should be listed.
