The information in that post is ambigious at best. You do not need to forward all of those ports, as hlds does not use most of them locally. If your firewall/router will allow outgoing ports to be opened, and keep them open for a reasonable amount of time, then you do not technically need to open any ports at all to sucessfully run hlds. However, if you want your server to appear on a standard port, such as 27015, then you need to open 27015 UDP. I believe there is a second outgoing port you need to open to support the friends network (um...I forgot what it is...). Most of the ports listed are ports used at the remote end, not ports your server uses. Opening most ports in your firewall/router accomplishes absolutely nothing. Some firewalls require rules that allow access from your psuedo random port to a remote dedicated port, or allow such rules if you really want to lock down your installation.
As for how long it takes, if everything is working normally then your server will appear on the server list in 60 seconds or less. At least everytime I've started a server, that is how long it took it to appear. Again, this assumes that everything is working normally :)

My servers are joined pretty much, automatically.

This is a multi-part message in MIME format. -- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Does anyone have an answer about how long it takes for a server to be listed in gametiger, or dare i say, the steam list? I know they're one in the same master list, but I've heard gametiger is faster, so I have my server up and can't see it. The ip SHOULD BE 66.93.60.213:27015 and the name IS Buddybuddha.net Counterstrike , yet they are not found. Anyone can direct connect, but nobody can find it in the list. I have read a good post at http://server.counter-strike.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=32243 , so that configuration issues are not a likely factor here . --
