So I'm the mate, who the thread starter, daw, was talking about.
Here's my problem:
I play Counter Strike Source, and everything else works fine, except joining servers that use port 27010. I have tried several servers which uses that port and can't connect any of them. I also have tried to connect to those servers from our other computers, but still CS:S fails to connect. Our every computer goes trough same router, but doesn't have same firewalls, I myself use comodo firewall. I have also fowarded this port, along with other CS:S ports, in my router and firewall. I also checked with netstat -nab, and no application was using that certain port. The most weird part of this problem is that if I try to join server that uses port 27010 in Team Fortress 2, it works just fine, no problems. So I have the problem only with CS:S.
Things that I've tried:
-Re-installing the game
-Deleting certain files in Steam folder (can't remember which ones)
-Verify and defrag CS:S
-Port fowardings
-Closing other applications that even might use port 27010
I did post this problem, when it first occured to me, to steam support, and they told me to delete certain files and verify the CS:S. That did help a little, because after that I could join the server, though right after joining I got connection timeout, but if I rejoined right after it worked well as long as I wasn't disconnected from server longer than a few minutes. Now the problem is back, as it first was, so i can't even join the server. I haven't tried again that solution what i got from steam support, because my ticket was deleted and haven't wrote a new one yet and i can't really remember the solution that steam support gave me first time.
Anyone with any thoughts to solve this tricky one, please share your thoughts. Any help is accepted and appreciated

-Edit, I have no dedicated servers installed or running, I have this problem with CS:S, not with CS:S dedicated server.
-Edit2, I have also tried to reinstall whole CS:S and deleting certain Steam .dll and .blob files, but that didn't solve anything
