<div class="IPBDescription">with CS retail.....</div> i am using CS retail+NS
when my friend try to connect into the non-dedicate internet server i created,
their computer shows that it's a LAN server(WTF!!?)
i tried many times in all the version(v1.0,1.03,1.04...etc)
but it still have the same problem.
is this problem cause by the CS retail?
and if so,can i fix this problem without buying another box of Half-Life?

The only diffrence between a lan server & a internet server is that the lan server does a braodcast (that's why you see it in LAN-Servers) and the lan server has no masterserver communication (your server wont be in the list you get ingame searching for internetserver).
To start a dedicated lan server, you have go give the server 2 variables ... "sv_lan 1" (enables broadcasting) and "nomaster" (disables masterserver communication). I think these are also set by default when you start a non-dedicated. So you need to change 'em.
After starting a game, open the console and type "sv_lan 0" and "nomaster 0". (I'm not sure, if nomaster 0 works, but give it a try)
Hope that helps.
