<div class="IPBDescription">Going back to my linux box.</div> Howdy All,
OK. I have just stopped renting a server for my clan. I need to save for a house.... However, when I went to fire up my ns server on my linux machine it failes to complete loading. The following is all the text I get:
hlds]# ./hlds_run_nice -game ns +map ns_nothing +maxplayers 10
Auto-restarting the server on crash
Host_Init
Added packfile /usr/games/hlds/valve/pak0.pak (985 files)
Protocol version 46
Exe version 3.1.1.0
Exe build: 14:46:34 Jun 11 2002 (2056)
And just stays there.
I have tried a number of woncomm.lst files assuming that the server was not able to contact with the WON servers. No luck. I know I have seen this post before, but all the searches I have performed fail to return any usefull information.
All usefull suggestions are appreciated.

What are the contents of the script "hlds_run_nice"? Looks like it's not passing through your other command-line arguments, as the behavior you described is indicative of hlds not receiving a "map" statement.
The next line you should see is

Since you're not getting that, your server seems to be failing to communicate with the WON servers. They're not moving right now that I know of (default woncomm.lst flies right through for me), so you probably have a local DNS issue. Can your box resolve other hosts?
You were correct. Seems my firewall/NAT likes to get confused. I have most my machines pointed directly to a DNS server not on my NAT. I forgot to do that with the Linux Box.
Back in action.
