Could not establish connection to Steam servers

[traffic_light]

Okay, this is really starting to irritate me.

First off, I own my own server hardware which is in a colocation facility. No firewalls, no routers in the way. It's right on the Internet.

I first downloaded and installed srcds yesterday. I got in installed and it was working fine all day long. Everything is cool. I went and downloaded Mani and got that installed. Everything worked fine. I made a few changes in some of the configs and then I started getting a couple error messages during startup:

Code:

Could not establish connection to Steam servers.

The proxy error and the connection error are my problems. Now, the server runs just fine. But because it doesn't connect to Steam, my server never gets listed in the Steam server list. Extremely aggravating.

So, I turn off Mani and change some stuff back to defaults. I still get the error. Then I say screw this and just delete everything and startover. I even go so far as to redownload all the files.

It's a brand new fresh install now. I still get those two errors. I've made sure that I have sv_lan 0 and sv_region 1 set in my server.cfg.

Why doesn't it want to connect to Steam?

Here are my specfic versions:

Code:

Gentoo Linux

gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 3.3.4 20040623 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.4-r1, ssp-3.3.2-2, pie-8.7.6)

ldd --version
ldd (GNU libc) 2.3.4

uname -a

Thanks you guys. I've seen other people describe this problem too. Hopefully, we can fix it.

Can you ping the two steam servers?

[traffic_light]

I can ping 69.28.151.178. 207.173.177.12 seems to be filtering ICMP traffic, but I assume it's accessible.

[traffic_light]

Would you guys mind making sure you can get to the server as it is.

206.127.79.170:27015

I can connect just fine, but I want to make sure somebody else can too.

Yeah, its accessable, i think that just has to do with VAC2
