Today we’ll talk about how to connect to the server of some game in general and to Minecraft and “Counter-strike” in particular. However, before trying to do this, it will not be superfluous to find out what the concept of “server” itself means.
What is a server and how does it work
It can be either one PC, or several at once, but with a certain power, since the more information will be placed on the server and the more requests will be sent to it, the more powerful you will need a computer. As you know, all sites on the Internet are stored on servers.
However, if the resource is small, and there is not a lot of information on it, then you can even get by with a simple computer, using it as a hub. But if you want to create a large or even a very large site, then get ready for the fact that you need a more powerful car, or maybe even just a couple of these machines. "Why is this server needed at all?" - you ask. We answer: it is necessary for private companies or even just starting people who are taking their first steps in the field of Internet business. But it’s not only virtual means, even surveillance cameras, printers and other electronic devices in its network can communicate with the “server”. For the “hub” to work well, it needs constant monitoring. For this work, there is a system administrator - this is a person or even a group of people who monitor the quality of the server, the efficiency of all software and repair it in case of malfunctions.
How to connect to a CS server
In order to connect to the servers of the “KS” community, you just need to find a “server” that you like and make a couple of clicks.
So, after you have entered the game, click the "Play" (or PLAY) button, and then - "Play on community servers." If you first started the game, then you will be warned that their cards can be very different from the official options. Next, a table appears with a list of unofficial community servers. Look for one that you might like, but do not forget to look at the number of gamers on the playground and its ping. Once you have found a suitable option, select it and click "Connect." That's all, the next step will be downloading files from the server to your computer, which are necessary for playing on this “server”. If suddenly you have a question about how to connect to the server by IP address, then you need to do the following. Go to the "Favorites" section, then click on the "Add" button in the lower right, then in the "IP Address" field enter the IP of the server to which you want to connect.
How to connect to the Minecraft server
Launch the Minecraft client, go to the Multiplayer, select the server you need. As in "Counter-strike", we look at the ping, select a playground and click "Connect." Everything is simple.
Another option for connecting to the server, if suddenly something went wrong. There is such an option as connecting to the server directly on the IP address. To do this, do the following.
Go to the "Multiplayer", click the "Add" button at the bottom, enter the server name, and its IP address.
Now you know how to connect to the server of one of these two games. As you can see, everything is easy and simple, and in some cases completely analogous.
