I can't make a dedicated lan server for this. It just turns into internet when I try to start it up. Any help?

Go into the console and type "sv_lan 1" and enter it. This should enable LAN on your server.

I just noticed I can't see any game lan... This is a new computer... do I need to do something with my roughter?

i duno check out Portforward.com because port forwarding allows games but don't know with lan.

Is it the same steam account running the server as wanting to play? If so, you need to connect by adding it to your favorites under your router IP.

How do I find out my routers ip?

Your router has an IP, however, your entire network has a specific IP which was given to you by your ISP. For example, it could be 67.54.109.234 (just a random number I came up with). However, every computer beyond your router is given a private IP. These IP's could range from 192.168.2.101, to 192.168.2.199. You should find out what the IP of the computer running the server is, as a private IP, and then connect to it in the server browser of brainbread. Find this out by going into the control pannel, Network and Internet Connections, and then under that go under "or pick a Control Panel icon" and click on Network connections. Under network connections right click on "Local area connection", go to properties, then click on "Internet Protocol", click properties on that, and then look at the IP beside "IP address:". I don't think you need your router IP, however...

Something is just selected to auto find an ip.

do this go start -> run -> cmd type in ipconfig theres your private ip will be like 192.168.x.x depending on ur router belkin is 2.x netgear is 1.x i think.
