[problems] dedicated server

[Ricardo]

I have installed the cs source, with all patches, and when I open the file srcds.exe and create a server, this appears in the console:

Could not establish connection to Steam servers.
VAC secure mode is activated.

I dont have steam, please, help me to create a server.

Please, just wait for a reply, I check these forums at least 3 times a day, no use posting again in such a short time.

Your router/gateway is the problem, it doesn't have the ports forwarded, please search the forums on how to do that.

thnks, I just forwarded the ports and turn off the firewall. thank you
