I made a 24/7 Zinkenite server...

No problem, but this is my first server, and I just hope it runs ok. The IP should be 66.91.241.89:27015 (Thanks to A Boojum Snark, can't thank him enough).

Anyone who doesn't have the map will take a really long time to download it though. For some reason it likes to download the bsp, which is 175 megabytes.

That's not the correct IP. That is the LAN IP and only machines on the same LAN will be able to find it. You need the WAN IP that the world sees. www.whatismyip.com (assuming you are posting from the same LAN as the server)

However, no offense to you, but both that you didn't know that and that it is running on your LAN... is it some spare you had lying around? is the machine even capable?

I am very sorry about that. This is the first attempt I have ever made at running a server, and have been taking it as an opportunity to become more tech-savvy. I have had a really hard time even getting it set up, and I still need to work out all the kinks.

I am running it from my new desktop, and am now running tf2 for tests on my laptop, so it should be very capable. Thank you very much for telling me about the IP, I would have had a very hard time figuring that out.
