Server not connecting to VAC

[Suricruise]

Ok i am trying to setup a server. We are trying to run zombiemod on it.

But when we start the server it wont connect to VAC. Has any one else had this issue? And how did you fix it?

[Drocona]

Do you have port 27005 and 27015 forwarded?

[technik]

have you checked its not set to be insecure?

Im not sure if he means if his server is not secured who he gets the error that the Vac servers cannot be reached.
Suricruise, you you mean the first thing I said, then follow technik's advise. Other wise do Drocona's

[Suricruise]

Thank you all for replying. I will look into both of these and let you know what worked.

[Suricruise]

My brother said we had thoes ports opened and the -secure in the startline.

We did have it set to 64 players. COuld that be a issue?

[Suricruise]

That did not work. It still says can't connect to the steam servers.

[Suricruise]

We do have 2 other CS:S servers running and they are VAC secure. But this zombiemod server for some reason wont connect to VAC and steam.

hmmm is the server DMZed?

[Drocona]

If the others work this one should too, it might be the playercount yes, have you tried with 32?

Also I've had trouble connecting to vac running more than 5 servers from the same IP.
