Cannot connect to Steam servers?

[KritSandvich]

Hello,

I'm trying to run a tf2 server on a computer running Ubuntu 9.10 32-bit. I followed the directions here and have not modified anything else. What I get is this:

nick@OH-HAI:~/orangebox$ ./srcds_run -console -game tf -ip 128.180.211.255 -port 27015 +maxplayers 16 +map cp_dustbowl

Make sure you have the ports fowarded and that there are no firewalls in the way preventing connections on the ports.

Thanks for the reply!

I disabled the firewall completely, but that didn't work. I get the exact same output

Is this a local computer ( behind a router )
or is it a remote computer?

i think the steam servers does problems, normally it works after few hours. you can restart the server several time, perhaps it works.

I have never had a problem with connecting to steam servers when everything is correct...
