Try to run install command again with -verify_all:

Full Install Command: c:\L4D2\hldsupdatetool -command update -game left4dead2 -dir c:\L4D2 -verify_all

Do not modify any files after update and try to join server.

Ok, just did that. I will see if it works.

Thanks,

You may need to also forward the steam friends port (1200 I think...). Also, unless you are running a very odd network, your subnet is wrong. However, I haven't used a PIX in a year or two... But I think you should use the correct subnet even if it's a singe IP. (probably /24 or /8)

Got it again today --> RejectConnection: 188.40.40.201 - STEAM validation rejected

Mooga, it's 255.255.255.255 because I am only specifying a specific IP address. If it were a range, that'd be different

Should port 1200 be opened to all my steam servers, or just L4D2?

[Mooga]

All steam servers.

Well, tried that. Still no dice and no traffic on my server. Any other ideas?
