    In the Steam games list, make sure you have 'dedicated server' available.

    Then, unzip the beta 5 dedicated server zip that you downloaded into your half-life folder.

    Double-click the 'dedicated server' option in the Steam games list, and it should give you an interface which allows you to start your server. In the mod list, choose 'ns' and setup whatever else you like, and you're all set <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    If you want to run the ded server from your Steam GUI, then extract the NS folder to:

    <Path to Steam>\SteamApps\<steam username>\dedicated server\

    So it would be something like:

    c:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\your@email.com\dedicated server\ns\

    Then relaunch the dedicated server and it'll be in the list.
