Hey grim, I know I'm asking for a lot but could I get a step-by-step on assigning cores?
A quick way of doing that is going into task manager, selecting the srcds.exe process, right click on it and select Set Affinity... then select what core you want to run it on.
Also, I suggest Set Priority and setting it to AboveNormal.

On XP or newer, right click an empty area of your task bar at the bottom of the screen and select "Task Manager". You can also hit Ctrl + Alt + Del and select "Task manager", just don't hit those three keys together twice in a row or you'll reboot the system.
You can do the above using rcon, but you'd need to set the address and password.. so for example in the game console:
rcon_address 192.168.1.3
rcon_password bob
rcon map map d1_trainstation_01
The address will in your case have to be your network address, using localhost doesn't work.
The password is whatever you have set the rcon password as on the server.
And obviously any server commands have to be preceeded by the command rcon.

Every time I connect to the server, it will hang on "Retrieving Server Info" for 3 or so minutes, which is much longer than normal, and will then go to a black screen, forcing me to restart.
This has happened in a few of the older source games (Anything running off of the build from episode one and beyond have given me no problems) So does anyone know whats going on?

I think he took the server down, don't remember why exactly, I wasn't paying attention :P
Anyway, I don't think it's up right now.
Notes:
Long distance popups, shouldn't have much affect in the main game
Occasional lag, usually when something like a strider and a group of enemies are on the screen, probably will be similar to reaper's server in regards to physics
Maps change pretty fast
EDIT: it seems the IP changed. Updated the OP with the new IP.
This is why I have a static ip, also why I don't advertise it to avoid the masses from trying to connect in and murder it.
How do you get a static IP?
Ask your ISP for one, some charge a one off fee, others charge a monthly fee, some charge nothing and others don't allow you a static ip because they nat the fuck out of their network.
Also, I suggest not playing HL: Source until some people join in it with Synergy. It'll be kind of interesting to experience it the first time with co-op.
And I can't currently join in any games atm as I'm uploading this video to googlevideo and also downloading stuff too. So my net connection is maxed out.

So how about:
A/answering my questions
B/putting up the videos?
I can see this being completely fuckawesome if we get a PA server going.
Bleh, I have Half Life Deathmatch Source but not Half Life Source. But I remember playing some Half Life maps on this a while ago. So it should work.
still with synergi?
Good software firewall? I haven't dealt with a software firewall in years, unless you count Linux firewall distros like ipcop etc.
As a general firewall the windows firewall isn't great but it does as a basic firewall. Use that for the moment.
I'll need to encode the video, go give it a bit.

I've got a spare copy of Portal, if anyone wants it message me.
Yeah, but I'm not entirely sure It works. I did a search on the official site to no avail.
Also: MY G5 MOUSE ARRIVED TODAY!
Awwwwwww jeah!
How do I forward ports on it? I want to get this set up before I go to bed....
Also, I'm gonna update the OP with your Server setup info.

Alright, I've got source dedicated server downloaded, so let's set this baby up.
By the way, Is your computer prebuilt?
No, I build all my own machines. I deal with that kind of thing as part of my day job.

When I say console, I mean the server console.
You can do the above using rcon, but you'd need to set the address and password.. so for example in the game console:
rcon_address 192.168.1.3
rcon_password bob
rcon map map d1_trainstation_01

Test Result: Success!

Maps change pretty fast
Time zones yadda yadda ya.
G'night.
Alright, good games.
I'll update th OP with new server-related information in a short while.
Reaper, is it OK if I put your server in the OP too?
Hrm.
EDIT: it seems the IP changed. Updated the OP with the new IP.
This is why I have a static ip, also why I don't advertise it to avoid the masses from trying to connect in and murder it.

My server's up, I'll join as soon as someone else does.
Ask your ISP for one, some charge a one off fee, others charge a monthly fee, some charge nothing and others don't allow you a static ip because they nat the fuck out of their network.
Also, I suggest not playing HL: Source until some people join in it with Synergy. It'll be kind of interesting to experience it the first time with co-op.
