As you can see my server starts up OK but I cannot connect to the steam servers and VAC!!!And some random error i have no idea what it is!! yes I have port 20009 UDP/TCP open. Yes ive reinstalled the server. No go! And yes ive tried -vacbeta in the command line and ive tried it without it.

Any tips on helping me fix these problems i will love you for ever! Thanks!

Have you tried adding the switch -verify_all i belive it it? Chances are it could be an issue steam side as i have gotten something like this before.

[PX_Darkness]

What do you mean? Have i tried adding -verify_all to the startup command line?

[cryotek]

Sorry, -verify_all to the installer you know ./steam -command update -game "Counter-strike Source" -dir . -verify_all

[PX_Darkness]

did that and still no luck

[PX_Darkness]

When it says:

Code:

Adding master server 69.28.151.162:27011
Adding master server 207.173.177.11:27011

Would 27011 have to be open by any chance?

[cryotek]

Let me get the thread that had all the ports you shoudl open and which protocol to use..

[PX_Darkness]

how do i check if I have outbound restricitons?

[PX_Darkness]

Well I figured I would see if I could get it to work in windows, and still no luck but I couldnt even get it to become an internet server. I turned off the windows firewall and I dont have any other firewalls on here that I know of. I am using the exact same IP address so I know the ports are open on this box..atleast im pretty sure. Anyone have ANY ideas on what to do for this box its killing me! I am on a t1 line at an office

O my gosh! ITS VAC SECURED!! I just ran cal.cfg and its secure...are my eyes playing tricks on me? Someone else look for me 216.85.179.70:27015

Ya weird every time I exec cal.cfg the little VAC secured sign next to the server list comes on. This is the cal.cfg:

Code:

//Official CAL CS:Source Match Config
//This is to be used during all offical CAL matches
//To use this config you type "exec calcss.cfg" in console
//To report any problems email boeckelmann@caleague.com

say "CAL CS:S Config Has Been Executed"

this is weird..... Every time is start up the server it gaves the same errors but as soon as i exec the cal config VAC symbol comes on. Any Ideas guys?

[PX_Darkness]

Ok new update. I figured out that as soon as sv_lan 0 is executed the server appears to be VAC secured. Ok so I take down the server and the server still gives me those same errors. And i exec sv_lan 0 and its VAC secured...or so it says it is. Ill shutdown the server again and put it back up but THIS TIME i threw sv_lan 0 in the server.cfg. It still is not VAC secured and it still gives me those errors. But as soon as I type sv_lan 0 it becomes VAC secured....Pretty freaky eh? Someone help plz?

[andain]

just add +sv_lan 0 to command line

+ doesn anybody know when i type +ip..should that be the server's ip or my router's..cuz when i do the server's i get this far...but when i do the routers..it errors out almost immediately.

[Toffeysauce]
