PROBLEM SOLVED !!! (by vittu)

Best thing I could come up with is that because the listen server starts with sv_lan at 1, it doesn't wanna connect to get secure. So... I have 2 options you can try and both work every time: First, create a listenserver.cfg, with all your settings ie hostname, etc. In there also set if you want sv_lan to be 0 or 1 normally. Next, the 2 options: In your my games list, set a launch option to start right into a server when ever you click on the mod in the games list. Right click on the mod Go to Properties On General tab, click Set Launch Options... Enter the following (change players and map values to your liking): +sv_lan 0 +maxplayers 12 +map de_dust Hit Ok to save, Close the Properties window, and double click on mod to start the server (it will go straight in). (Problem with this method is if you actually use the games list to open your game, it will launch the server instead. Though I personally never open a multiplayer game that way. I always use the server browser.) Create a Shortcut to launch the listen server. So that you can still use steam games list to just open your game. Right click on desktop Go to "New", then "Shortcut" In the Create Shortcut window that opens browse for "hl.exe" in your games folder. ie. "C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\[email protected]\count er-strike\hl.exe" Hit next after you find it and just name it whatever you want ie 'cs listen server'. Right click on newly created shortcut. (to edit the command line) Go to Properties. Go to the Shortcut tab, find the Target text box. At the very end of the line add a space and enter the following (change players and map values to your liking): +sv_lan 0 +maxplayers 12 +map de_dust Hit OK to save, then just double click on the shortcut to start your listen server (it will go straight in). (This would probably be the preferred method.) If amxmodx could force listen servers to start with sv_lan at 0, I don't know. But I don't think they should as it is not really their issue. It maybe something you could ask for, but I doubt that will happen. And I highly doubt this is something amx did as a fix, I doubt they did anything at all to make it work where as amxmodx would not. Though if you know that they really did do something to fix this please by all means show us where the discussion of the issue is so that something could be done. This is something valve should fix but of course never will, they'd rather give us ads so they can make more money with no benefit to the end user. On a side note: I also noticed that starting a "New Game" would create a server.cfg not a listenserver.cfg when no server.cfg is present. Which is really stupid cause the server.cfg is not used with a listen server. (I hate listen servers)

Thank you very much, very usefull tutorial "for noobs"

+sv_lan 0 in launch properties (for example) or other tecnic, they both work.

Your move was very intelligent, like a "colombus egg".

I also don´t no why can i host a listenserver using amxmod2006.3 without your "trick" (just with sv_lan "0" in listenserver.cfg), but who cares?

I agree, valve should fix that kind of issues.

Big hug for you vittu.
