The first step is to ensure that CS 2 is added to the Windows Firewall. Go to the Control Panel and select the "Allow an app or feature through Windows Defender Firewall" tab. Check the boxes next to Steam and CS 2.

Step 2: Launching a Training Map and Obtaining the IP Address

Launch a training map with bots in CS 2 and enter the command "status" in the developer console. The local IP address of your server will be displayed on the screen.

Step 3: Connecting Another Computer to the Server

On another computer, enter the command "connect <IP>" in the developer console, specifying the local IP address obtained in the previous step. After this, the device will successfully connect to your server.
