When I create a game on my mac while playing CS within steam (OS X), the game shows up as a LAN game and not as an internet game. Is it possible for a Mac to host as a CS server for the internet (in OS X) and how is it done ?
Got a tip for us?

When I want to play with some friends, I'm not too sure I want miscellaneous people to join the game (some are good to game with but many are not). I look at it in WoW terms as pugging in WoW as opposed to forming a group.
Does anyone know if I can make an internet server for CS under steam for OS X and how is it done ?
I do, but since nobody has ever joined it, I don't know if people can see it out there on the internet or not.
After you start your server, hit the escape key (the game will keep going) and hit find a server. If your game shows up under the LAN tab, only the people on your local network can see it and if it shows up under the internet tab, everyone should see it.
I can make a LAN server under OS X but I am unable to make an internet server under OS X.
Ah, yes.
Mine only shows up in LAN. I think I know why, though, and it has to do with opening ports and such.

Thank you for the help !!!
Doing a search on counter strike port forwarding, it seems to indicate that I have to forward ports TCP 27020-27039 and UDP 1200, 27000-27015. I'll give it a try when I get a chance.
Cool... I'd like to know how it goes. My Mac and internet service seem to be well-suited to run as a server for about 32 players, perhaps?
