Ns 3 Not Visible In Steam Lan Browser

Up to now we have been using the dedicated server to run Counter-Strike (CS) on our LAN. Since, a number of people wanted to play Natural-Selection 3 (NS) we decided to install it, along with the latest updates. So far when we try starting the server, the server seems to start okay, with no sign of error, though it does not become visible in the LAN browser. We tried the same thing with straight Half-Life (ommiting the -game option) and still no go. If we change the options to specify CS the server can be seen, but this does not help for NS. All this is on Linux and the same install. Admin mod is installed.

We are at a loss as how to correct this issue.

We finally resolved the issue. It was kind of stupid: no initial map. So we added an autoexec.cfg with a map command and now everything is fine.
