[Shinra92]

if you are running a dedicated local server from your own computer, then you need to access your router page and open up the correct ports to allow css to show up in server list

maybe i wasnt being clear, when i run dedicated server, the only game it gives me an option to run a server with is half life DM

[Shinra92]

well i wouldve added you had i seen first that you commented here, i didnt know who you were lol

[Shinra92]

i requested you as a friend, accept and see if you can join my game, im gonna leave the server running while waiting for you to respond

[Shinra92]

well i got the dedicated server running, just need to see if people can join

[JHzz]

You got the dedicated server running for CS:S?

[Shinra92]

yeah i did but it seems people couldnt join

If you have yet to resolve your issue about 3 years later, you must port-forward your server's ports as the first commenter said, as if you do not, the server is locked in your network thus not allowing anyone else to join. I apologize for being 3 years late, and good luck!

so random. appreciate the reply but ive moved onto better things :)

Oh ok lol, I kind of expected that. But if you ever start a server with SRCDS tool again, remember to port forward if you're not doing it locally lol.
