I am not using any launch parameters. I just start the server from the hlds.exe
Here is my server.cfg files . See if it is of some use....


// Use this file to configure your DEDICATED server.
// This config file is executed on server start.

// disable autoaim
sv_aim 0
sv_lan 0
// disable clients' ability to pause the server
pausable 0

// default server name. Change to "Bob's Server", etc.
hostname "www.GamersDen.in"

// maximum client movement speed
sv_maxspeed 320

// 20 minute timelimit
mp_timelimit 20

sv_cheats 0

// load ban files
exec listip.cfg
exec banned.cfg

map de_dust

I've never used "Dedicated Server" through steam but I assume that you can just add maps and addons and the like to

./Steam/steamapps/<username>/dedicated server/<mod>/

after creating

./addons/
./maps/
./sound/
./models/
./sprites/

and so on. I think.

Lets leave the steam server thing.... I tried that only after i found that my hlds is not working.....
What abt the HLDS though.... I am still not able to get it up and running.....
Yesterday i installed XP 64-bit... Still not working on it....

So, you are no longer using the Dedicated Server located in Steam Tools? And you downloaded the Standalone Dedicated Server via hldsupdatetool?

map de_dust

I just tried something because things are not going right for me..... And BTW i didnt lost anything downgrading as i use to format my windows every 3 weeks or so...
I didnt understand why people are talking off the problems.....
I am damn sure that i have followed all the steps carefully.... Then what the heck is wrong guys..... Its perfectly acceptable that i am blaming vista for this......

Because I am being lazy, tell me what you are trying to do and then I will try to do it on my Vista64 pc and see if I can do it. If I can't, then you can blame Vista, but if I can, we get to blame you.

Plz folow those steps :

1-open you server.cfg

delete these two lines :

exec listip.cfg
exec banned.cfg

2- create new text file (using notepad) in "cstrike/" folder

add these lines into ito it

PHP Code:

port 27017
sv_lan 0
setmaster enable 1
setmaster add 72.165.61.189 


save it then rename the file to autoexec.cfg

3-launch you server via the console using a .bat file :
to do it ,
just create another text file but in the directory wich contain "hlds.exe"

past this into it :

PHP Code:

@echo off
cls
echo Protecting HLDS from crashes...
echo If you want to close HLDS and this script, close HLDS and type Y depending on your language followed by Enter.
title HLDS Watch
:hlds
echo (%time%) hlds started.
start /wait hlds.exe -console -pingboost 3 +sys_ticrate 1000 +heapsize 250000 -game cstrike +port 27017 +hostname "the server name" +map de_dust2 +maxplayers 12
echo (%time%) WARNING: HLDS closed or crashed. Restarting...
goto hlds 


(nb:maxplayers 12)
Save it , rename the file to hlds_launcher.bat then right clic on it and create shortcut to desktop for it

An FYI on this site. That script was designed to create the server.cfg file for CS:S servers. The only cvars on that page that are not valid in CS1.6 are the Bot ones and maybe some of the Log ones. The finished cfg will also have the wrong file names for the banned users, so you will need to change those. There may be a few other cvars that are not valid as well since I don't have the ability to test the "fishy" ones
