CS 1.4 and HL1.9 Dedicated LAN server Problem

[Brains-Lans]

Hi

I am trying to setup a LAN only dedicated cs1.4 server, and for some reason it still attempts to connect to the WON servers, despite the fact that "sv_lan 1" is in the server.cfg

This means that the server waits till it times out because there is no internet conection before loading the server, which is bloody annoying. I dunno if this is a HL or CS problem, but it's annoying!

Anyone know how to stop it trying to authenticate with WON?

I managed to stop the secure file download by putting "-insecure" in the command line, but the WON thing is getting to me.


All help/ideas gratefully accepted

:D

Add this:

hlds.com - game cstrike -insecure -blah blah

to your shortcut to start server.
Then it won't try and connect.

Done that dizzie, doesnt want to do the secure download, but still wants to say hello to WON

C:\games\Half-Life\hlds.exe -game cstrike -port 27020 -insecure +sv_lan 1 -nomaster +maxplayers 20 +map de_dust
