Hy

i have 2 servers of counter-strike on my linux. One of them was setup by a friend of mine and when i do "connect cs.name.com" it's working (it is on port 27015).
Recently i put a second server, but i want to know how or where or what i must change in order to connect with "connect war.cs.name.com", instead of "connect xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:27016".

thanks in advance.

You Might want to give this link a shot.

Counter-Server



As for connecting to the IP instead of the server name just use the ip address. If you don't know it. Use ifconfig.
Normally found in sbin.

/sbin/ifconfig

should spit out the ip addy of that machine.
Hope some of this helps.

when i connect i want to use the server name, not the ip


thanks for the linuxbasic page

i will read it now.

no help there

i think i want to do some "reverse address" stuff. (i may be wrong)

your running both serrvers on the same machine?

yes
one on port 27015, the other (the new one) on 27016

with counter strike, i've noticed when i log into a server and dont specify a port, it defaults me to 27015. If all you supply is the IP (which is the same
as just supplying a domain name) then it will probably always default to
27015, much the same way as asking for a web page. You never ask for the port (80) unless the server is not running on the default port (like 8080). So you may not be able to do this....atleast not in anyway that is inherently easy.

I've been wrong before, so I could be wrong now. That is based on theory and observation of joining CS servers (i created one once and tested it out, i didnt specify a port when connecting but it gave me port 27015 by default).

both servers are working simultanios, but if i want to log on the first one, i can type from console "connect cs.name.com". If i want to connect to the second server, i do it from the console like this: "connect 194.176.185.254:27016". What i want is to do on the second server just this: "connect war.cs.name.com".

This is my problem: how i bind the ip and the port to the name "war.cs.name.com" ?

Just put this line in your hosts file:
194.176.185.254 war.cs.name.com

thanks

but why ping is only working from my server and is not working from any other computer on my network?


PS:
-and i click on the link

Do you mean why does it not ping the name? You will need to put that entry in the hosts files of every machine.

but i don't want to tuch the computers...

i don't want to do this thing every time i install a windows or a linux from my network
is there any other method?
like to put the address on the dns on my server (but i don't know how to o that)?

You could run your own dns server but that ain't really my speciality.

ok
thank's for your help
now i'll go to see how to set up a dns.
maybe i have one running on my server and i don't know

will someone please correct me if im wrong but:

you cannot get a hostname to translate into an IP AND port.

as far as i know about ip's and counter-strike, it wont work. you can't get
a dns server to specify a port, only the IP that the hostname goes to, and CS, when only given an IP defaults to the 27015 port. People logging in will have to do something like war.cs.name.com:27016 to get port 27016. I posted this before. If im wrong PLEASE by all means correct me. I understand that u have 2 servers running on 1 machine on 2 different ports, but CS wont default to port 27016 when just given a host name. what you will end up with in the end is 1 IP, 1 Computer, 2 host names. You can add all the hostnames you want to point to that 1 IP but when people connect to your server, if they dont specify a port it will always default to 27015 no matter what hostname they decide to connect with.
