Connecting to server...............................................

[roberts91]

So yeah I was able to run the dedicated server tool (that is on steam) and make a server fine. I setup a SRCDS server and when i join my own server it says "Connecting to Server" and never goes any further then that.

Here is my console output if you need it:

Code:

EDIT: oh wait i found that if you wait a little longer it says "Connection failed after 4 retries"

Same thing...
Did you open your ports and give him the correct IP?

Are you playing and using the server on the same computer?

Something is blocking the connection.
Try contacting the company which you are renting the server from and request that the correct ports are opened.
Also, make sure that the software firewall isn't blocking it.
