Okay... I recently had a server on XP with the EXACT same ports open via my router. I then Upgraded my PC and changed to Vista, and 2 months later decide I again want a server. My previous server was fine, and people could connect and I was having no trouble. Upgrading to Vista I instantly ran into lots of problems, the first being actually downloading the srcds as I had to restart the process about 5 times to fully complete. Then I decided to get mani and matties scripts working etc. Server is working fine for me... Then I tried to get my friend to connect via my WAN IP. Didn't work... So I configured Vista's firewall to allow the connections and I opened all the ports on Vista's Firewall (not behind no other firewall...) He then saw the name of my server when he refreshed. However, when he tried to connect, the server kicked him out and it says "not responding" now, even though I have not changed anything. I restarted the server and it's still not responding... I'm stumped :S Stupid Vista...
