How to setup Counter-Strike 1.6 Server
Requirements
- Computer
You can setup Counter-Strike 1.6 Server on any computer.
This tutorial is for computers running Windows Operating System (Windows XP / Windows Server 2003 / Windows 7) - Internet Connection
For Online Server, an Internet Connection is required.
This tutorial is for home computers running on DSL Connection or WiMAX connection.
For 16 slots server, a 1Mb internet connection is sufficient.
For best performance, a 4Mb internet connection is preferred which can support upto 32 players. - Static IP
The Public IP address of dsl connections is Dynamic.
Which means on every restart of router the Public IP is changed.
To make the IP static you have to request your DSL provider to provide you a Static IP address.
PTCL users can get Static IP easily for a monthly charge of 200 rupees.
Call 1218 from your ptcl number to get a Static IP on your dsl connection. - UPS
To make your server 24/7 your computer must stay on all the times.
For that you will need a UPS that will provide backup in case of power outages.
Installation Steps
- Download Server
Download Dedicated Server Setup from here hlds_cspak.zip
Extract the zip file to any folder. - Server Configuration
Open server.cfg file in cstrike folder and change “CS 1.6 Server by CounterStrike.Com.Pk” to server name of your choice.
Right-Click on START_SERVER.bat file and click Edit.
Make any required changes and save the files by pressing Ctrl + s
Now Double-Click on START_SERVER.bat
If everything goes fine, the server console will be started like below. - Testing
This step is just to make sure that you have properly configured the server.
Open your game and click on Add Server.
Enter your Private IP with Port and click Add.
If you can see your server running, you can proceed to the next step. - Open Firewall
Now you have to open your Windows Firewall so that other people can connect to your server.
You need to open UDP port 27015 on your windows firewall.
Follow steps on this link to open Windows Firewall ports:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/open-port-windows-firewall
At this stage, you have created a LAN server which means people connected to your Router can now join your server. - Port Forwarding
Now you have to “Forward the ports from your Router to your Computer” so that Online Players can connect to your server.
In simple words, all the people connecting to your Router on port 27015 will be forwarded to the port 27015 of your Computer.
There are hundreds of thousands of router models with different port forwading methods each.
Here are steps for some routers:
http://www.counterstrike.com.pk/2014/03/port-forwarding-on-dsl-modem-router/
For other routers, just google about it and you will find the steps. - Testing
This step is to make sure the firewall and ports are properly opened.
Send your Public IP to your frind and ask him to join your server (182.180.66.151:27015)
To find your Public IP, visit this link : http://myip.counterstrike.com.pk/
Now you have created an Online Server which means people from all around the world can join your server.

Admin bro mujhe ab server mein ye lines daalni hain.If you want to know the server owner then type /owner.If you want to know the server founder then type /founder to ye lines mein kese daloon???
Sorry for this comment again
Its ok 🙂
Let me know if that motd method worked for you.
i have successfully created server with ur method..problem is that when i click add server and put my ip .it didnt show in lan server….then i click console ~ connect 192.####
then it connect to my server ….how to slove this problem…plz help me..
It will never show in LAN servers but you can see it in your Favorites.
In LAN it only shows up when someone on your LAN has started the build-in server of CS 1.6 game and not the HLDS.
But I am not 100% sure about this.
Please try this out and let us know if that is the case 🙂

bhai wall tha apka wall mein seymar rahy thy app aur meny app ko 4 times spec kiya tha bro
Saleem khalhoro, I have already set my settings in advertisement plugin.
I don’t have a static IP. I have cable net (Dreamnet). I’ve made my IP static with the http://www.noip.com. I’ve done all the steps including the firewall exception and the port forwarding. The server shows in the favorites list when I add it to my PC, but when I give my Public IP or Domain name to my friend the server doesn’t show in his favorites list. I even tried with the firewall turned off. Please tell me what to do.
Sorry but these steps do not work for cablenet.
You will need to ask your cablenet provider to forward ports for you on their gateway.
Can I do the same steps that I’ve done on PTCL?
Yes you can try but there is no guarantee!
Admin bro…pls statx ka v0.9.8 ka method btadein ke kia kia krna hai uske liye
Please be specific so I can provide a pin point solution 🙂
Sir I am having a problem with the server which i created using your instructions. Everything is working fine. But I am not a admin in my server. And I cant change maps or anything like this.plzz help. looking forward
You will need to add your nick and password in your cstrike/addons/amxmodx/config/users.ini file.

I am sorry I don’t have any 32 slots server available but here’s one with 26 slots: 182.180.66.151:27015

On a serious note: No one gives server for free. Either you have to buy it from hosting providers or you can host it at your home computer using this tutorial: http://www.counterstrike.com.pk/2014/03/how-to-setup-counter-strike-1-6-server/

If you don’t understand any step, simply ask in comments.

not working on windows 10..
any suggestions?
If you are getting any errors on Windows 10, provide us the details so we can find a solution.
while configuring the server i don’t know about the changes that i have to make in the start_server file but when i run it without any changes it says hlds.exe not found
what changes i should make to the file?
Is your antivirus detecting hlds or any other files?
Are you sure you have not moved or deleted any files after downloading the setup?
Nop my antivirus doesn’t detect anything. the hlds.exe is still there but when i start the server_start it sayd hlds.exe not found do i have to edit the start_server file to give the exact location of the hlds file?
Looks like the issue was solved over TeamViewer 🙂
how to run cs 1.6 in windows 10…:(
So many people are having issues running CS 1.6 and other games on Windows 10 and that boils down to one point: “Windows really sucks!!!”
There are so many reasons for why Windows sucks but that topic deserves a dedicated blog post 😛
A workaround for you would be to uninstall Windows 10 and use an older version like Windows 7 (Yes it sucks but less!)
how to enter private ip and port if i have completed the console step
You can check your private IP by entering this command in command prompt: ipconfig
The port is the same i.e. 27015

Hi AbdulMuqtadir Type in Your HLDS Console

If you have no pw no problem Delete your pw Line
abcdefghijklmnopqrstu means Acces it is full acces
Hopefully Saleem has provided enough information for you to do it 🙂
Sorry Bro… But my Name is Saleem Not Salmeen 🙂
My apologies brother.
It was a typo 🙂

Wateen ka ip forward Kesey karon
Try these steps on your Wateen router:
http://www.counterstrike.com.pk/2014/03/port-forwarding-on-dsl-modem-router/
Wateen uses 192.168.15.1 for their devices and the rest is almost the same.
IS there any possibility that I can add counter strike source as well as counter strike condition zero. Furthermore I get an error ping too high after some time. Please help!!!
No that is not possible.
Can you share link for Cstrike source and Cstrike condition zero as well?
Sorry but I don’t have any experience with any other CS flavor except CS1.6 and CSGO.
So I don’t have any working links for those games for now.

Try doing this with the Administrator account of your computer.
Otherwise try move the server folder on desktop or some drive other than your “C” drive or the drive having Windows.

This is because your IP is not Static.
Call PTCL to make your Public IP Static and try again.
PTCL guys usually take 2,3 days to change IP to Static IP.

Bro.. I followed steps from this https://thetechnogeeks.wordpress.com/2013/10/06/creating-a-counter-strike-1-6-internet-based-game-server-using-steamcmd-complete-guide/ . I downloaded it. Then I created a static ip. Then tried to port forward. But when I check in port open test, it says port closed! What to do please help.
Some times the port test shows wrong results.
Did you create a static ip or you actually ordered a Static IP from PTCL? (which usually takes a few days to change)
i want to know how i would admin of this???
You will need to add your nick and password in your cstrike/addons/amxmodx/config/users.ini file.
The exact syntax is written in start of users.ini file with examples.
