Yes, you can run CS server on HLDS via the following command:

C:\Sierra\Half-Life\hlds.exe -game cstrike -port 27015 –noipx +log on +maxplayers 20 +map de_chateau

Replace C:\Sierra\Half-Life with the directory in which you have installed HL. Change the port 27015 to 27016 ONLY if you want to play on the same machine as the server is on. Also, if you have a firewall running, make sure you configure it to allow these ports: They are needed for the servers to work properly:

Incoming UDP to local destination 27015.
Outgoing UDP to remote destination 27010, 27012.
Outgoing TCP to remote destination 5273.
Outgoing TCP to remote destination 7002.

If you're seeing the "Outdated server protocol" message, then it means your server is indeed working properly, has been authorized by WON and is ready to roll. You might want to update HLDS to the latest version 4.1.1.0
