1. Start CoD4 normally.
2. Click host a server.
3. Select Dedicated.
4. Click start.
5. You'll see a console start up in a window. That is your CoD4 dedicated server.
6. Type
set rcon_password "password goes here"
(With quotes) into the console and push enter. (After changing the "password goes here" part.)
7. Find an easy to use Rcon such as RconMax (MW). Find it by searching for it on Google.
8. Connect to the CoD4 server (Doesn't matter if it is used on the local computer or not.)
9. The rest should be very easy.
I should know. I'm hosting one on this computer right now.
ok well i know how to build a css server. but i currently have issue building a TF2 server and. also what ports will i need to open for COD4. also quick question which is a good router to allow more port forwards. because im running out of space >_<

29960 is the only port needed I believe. Though I do see some with 28930, so you might want to free that one up. Just in case.
Also, if you're hosting a server, and multiple servers at that, it would be best to have it wired directly to the internet. In other words: Wall -> Modem -> Server, would be best.
A server isn't running the data, just hosting it basically.
I know that, but the program for running the server is for windows, right? How can running it in Linux (through whatever means) increase reliability or whatever makes it better?
There is no better linux than the other. Its just which one you are more comfortable with. Alot of people like ubuntu these days. If thats what you like, then use it.
If u are a gentoo or a suse then use those. None give better performance than the other.
And for those that dont know, linux servers require less ram than a windows server does.
So if it is a small server, then linux is the way to go, but if its a large server, it really doesnt make a diff.
That's a bit untrue... Depending on what the company/community pre-loads on their distro, one can yield better performance over another.
But you can decide which components to install and not install of that 'pre loaded' distro.
