- Now click on the favourites tab at the top of the window that opened.
- At the bottom of the window you will see a button that says add a server, click it.
- Paste in the Query IP listed on the control panel (the one that ends in a 6, e.g. 27016).
- Click find games at this address.
- It should find your server, then just click the add this address to favourites button.
- Click refresh once or twice if the server shows an IP instead of it's name in the window.
