retry the command several times, this can happen sometimes. if it still doesn't work, make sure there is no firewall blocking the traffic.

iv run the command about about 10 times and it gives me the same output. its running on a fresh install of windows server 2003 and windows firewall is off.

Your startup line isn't set correctly:

Change
Code:
C:\srcds\orangebox\srcds.exe -console -game "Counter-Strike Source" -maxplayers 14 +map cs_militia -autoupdate
to:
Code:
C:\srcds\orangebox\srcds.exe -console -game "cstrike" -maxplayers 14 +map cs_militia -autoupdate

The -game parameter just tells srcds.exe what folder the game files are in.
Counter-Strike Source is the HLDSUpdateTool install name... cstrike is the game files folder.

Also the winsock error is normal in most cases.
