Connecting to a network L4D2 SRCDS server

[==Maverick==]

So here's whats happening, clean installed SRCDS on a second computer, got everything running...I can ping the server just fine and the ports are open. If I select Best Dedicated or Steam Group Server the request will go through and the server will be reserved(the campaign even loads), but Im stuck at the lobby until it says "Search Failed"...if I go to the L4D2 main menu I can click on the Steam Group Server at the bottom right and join from there. Anyone who tries to join the server gets "Server not Responding", they can Telnet but they cant ping the server. I have no firewalls running or any firewalls on the router, no AV software or anything else that would limit connections on either computer.

EDIT TO ADD: Now Im getting this, and Im still in the lobby until it fails http://i45.tinypic.com/ie4e41.jpg
