Strange, my 1.5 LAN server goes OK. A default mapcycle.txt file should have been
created when you first installed. Add some other maps to it and set the
timelimit to 2mins for testing purposes. See if it loads the next map in the
cycle.

>the entry in mapcyclefile : de_dust 10

Typo? If not, that will be a problem if the map isn't spelt exactly the same as
the files in the map dir.

Thanks for the reply - found the problem. You have to start the server
with a map, the mapcyclefile takes over from there on. Found it on
someone elses website.
The following works:
hlds_run -game cstrike +sv_lan 1 -insecure +map de_dust +mapcyclefile

Cheers
