How to create a CS 1.6 Server [ With Steam ]

[Watdaflip]

This tutorial is for created a 'Dedicated server'?

If so, I heard that when one creates a server like this, you're own ping is better than the people who join your server and there ping is like 100, is this true? I just heard about it, but I don't know if it's true or not.

If you run a dedicated server on a spare computer around your house then yes your ping will be very good (probably less then 15-20) because it takes very little time for data to travel the 10 or whatever feet between the server and your computer. Other peoples ping will depend on how good of a computer is running the server and your internet connection

What are the system requirements? Do you think the following is good enough for people to join the server(playable)? Thanks in advance.

Microsoft Windows XP SP2
Intel(R)
Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.00Hz
480mb of RAM
ATI RADEON 7500 SERIES Graphics card
SBC YAHOO DSL High speed internet

I'm not sure, I don't have enough experience running a dedicated server to tell you system requirements.
Changes are your internet connection isn't going to be able to handle more then a couple of players. You need a connection with a high upload rate. ISP's usually limit the upload on residential internet connections, especially a DSL connection

um, so if I want to start a LAN server between let say, 3 PCs, I just gotta do the steps for one of the PCs, or all 3?

You just have to do it for the one. One will act as the server, and you play on the other two as normal
