Thanks for your reply. Yes, your assumption is correct. Looks like I have misunderstood the architecture! I thought it might be something like that when dod worked. Yes I am looking to run HL death-match server. Used to play them a lot several years ago and thought it would be nice to host one of my own, now that I have a bit of band-width.

'Valve' is the base for running mods, generally. If you want to, say, co-op Half-Life with some people, there -is- a mod for that ("Sven Co-Op"). If you want to host a server for Half-Life Death Match, that's certainly possible, too. But, assuming I'm understanding you correctly, what you've described isn't -- You can't host a 'half-life' server.

Just downloaded and updated HLDS (for the first time) and have been unable to get the server to work with the ‘Valve’ (i.e. original Half-Life) game. When starting the server, the initial dialog has nothing in the game or map drop downs. It will still let me click [Start Server], but seems to ignore the ‘hostname’ and ‘ip’ settings from server.cfg. I then cannot connect to the server in favourites or see it in the list of servers. After fiddling for a couple of hours, re-downloading, yada, yada, I decided to additionally download the DOD game, just as a sanity check. This is working fine! Don’t understand what I could have done wrong. Followed the same download/update steps for both games without receiving any error. Now when I fire up the HLDS, the initial dialog only has the entry for DOD in the drop down, no Valve. As I have never done any of this before, I am not sure if Valve should be in the list? After all it is kinda the base game anyhow. PS If anyone could test connecting to my DOD server that would be great.
