Have you tried just installing a separate fresh install and seeing if that works? I've seen people have an issue with addons here lately with the new updates.

[zgrillo2004]

Yes. and with no addons whatsoever. and it still persists. What I did is uninstalled the server completely. wiped everything our of that directory. then fired up the update tool to reinstall the server. and it still showed up that message

Ports are already forwarded and I added SRCDS and HLDSupdatetool as exceptions. still shows this error. One thing I didnt tell you is that I use AVG antivirus as my AV. does that AV cause any problems with SRCDS?

[CentralFrag]

If AVG has the firewall built into it, it possibly could yes. Just the standard AV, it shouldn't.

I would say disable any firewalls you possibly could have, Windows and/or any other software and make sure your ports are forwarded correctly.

[zgrillo2004]

They are already off And I said before that the ports are already forwarded. It Still persists

[zgrillo2004]

Im still waiting for a reply as this problem is still an issue

[sammole]

im having the same issues trying to run my CS:S server, did you find a fix?

[zgrillo2004]

No I havent. its most likely a SRCDS issue

[cookies911]

Maybe check your router's Firewall to see if theres any exception errors.

This has to be an isolated problem on your end..

[zgrillo2004]

I actually did disable the firewall to see if it was that problem. and it infact wasnt

[Sharft 6]

yeah i have the same problem. no firewall and dmz but problem persists
EDIT: Oops restarted server and its all good

[bzellinger]

Someone at the Steam forums said to install Steam on your server machine. (Windows) I did that and it fixed the problem. FYI, I installed Steam but I did not need to log in or create an account. In fact, you don't need Steam running.

i have had this 1 or times times no i just restarted the box and it was good to go..
