There is a command line variable for the HL server to explicitly state the
IP address. The shortcut that starts your server should look something like
this:
<PathToHalf-LifeDircectory>\hlds.exe -game cstrike +ip <your IP here>
+maxplayers 10
Or, when you lose your baby teeth, and move up to Linux <grin>, it will look
like this:
./hlds_run -game cstrike +ip <your IP here> +maxplayers 10
All the goods on server admin are here:

Makes me miss the old days, before Speakeasy moved my POP 800 miles further
down the copper, and raised my gateway ping from <20 to >100 ms. That move
put my servers out of business. :( Now I just have an expensive,
high-latency SDSL line ---- but no servers...
Did I mention Speakeasy is off my holiday greeting card list?

Subject: Re: [Leaf-user] echowall 1.3 released
Mark:
Heya. This sounds like it's either an interface problem,
or a problem with the CounterStrike server setup. In echowall.conf,
did you choose "ppp0" or "eth0" for IF_EXT? For PPPoE, I believe
it should be the first one.
The 169.254.0.0/16 address you speak about is actually
what a DHCP client will default to if a valid DHCP server doesn't
give it a lease when it asks for one. AFAIK, it shouldn't be a
usable address, so I'm confused where you're seeing it. Just in
the CStrike server, or do you see it in "ip addr show"?
Finally, perhaps there's a config setting in the CStrike
server, telling it whether to use static or DHCP addresses? I
could imagine that the server itself is asking for an DHCP lease
unless you tell it not to. Sorry that I don't know the particulars
of this server setup any better...
Lemme know what you find out!
cheers,
Scott
