*where to find server.cfg
its in the CSTRIKE folder, but if you have it from steam you have to go to the steam folder>steamapps> then it should be there, i bought cod4 from steam so i know it should be there

but i didnt buy this from steam so yea but it wont make and difference

idk if it might work for you but i hope it does
