Instead of useing just the console use the ServerLauncher.exe in your hd2 folder.
I remember the colsole alone works with an bat file .. the readme should be clear this up more for you

[Staufenberg]

Yes, I create a server with HD2 server launcher, and then when I complete creating, I push the button - launch server
and then shows the console log, and it stops.
so I must something to write. Are there any codes or ports which need to write???

If you entered anything like maps roundtime playersettings etc and you press start server the console opens and you should see an command like
loading mission xxx
>....
game running
Than the server is up and working. The command you need to change maps etc are in the readme or when you enter help you will see any possible commands for the console

[Staufenberg]

em, there's one problem. I have a russian version, so I can't read that, what's there writed.
I think there's writed that, what you tell me, and server works.
but what can I do next? So I don't need write something in the console??! great!
but I can't see the server in list, maybe there is some problem??

If you added maps roundtime etc in the launcher it should work .. check if you can connect when you only open it as an lan server. If the internetserver is not visible there are still some ports missing to be opened. What exactly have you opened and witch OS do you use? It might be that you can change the language with the registry settings .. no idea on the russian version

[Staufenberg]

Yeah, of course in the server launcher I add all roundtimes, maps.
But there's a one big problem. First I create server 5 months ago, and I don't create it. I change ports from 11001, to 11101, and that must be that mistake. I suppose that there are need 4 servers right? example (11001-11005)
I don't change any settings in registry, so that must'nt be a problem, that it's a russian version.
I join it as internet server.

[Lars]

gamespy ports are missing thats why its not in the list .. add 27900+28900

[Staufenberg]

Yeah, that must be this problem. But where can I add these ports???
In the server launcher is place only for 5 numbers, so I can't write 27900+28900.
Is there some other place to write these ports??

[Lars]

All ports must be open in your firewall and in your router

[Staufenberg]

But I haven't any ideas about it. Where can I open router or firewall???

[Staufenberg]

I found it. So in port number I must write 27900+28900 right?
And how can I name that port??

[Lars]

You have to add ports 11001-11004+27900+28900 into your firewall and into your router ... you should read your routermanual if you are not sure how to edit it

[Staufenberg]

I need to add it to program HD2, but port name? Is it important to write exact port name??

[Lars]

No idea where you add it. You must add the given 6 ports to your firewall settings and to your router and open them. Without doing that it will never work
