Counter-Strike Players

[TeMpEsT]

Anyone know WTH this is about? :|

[sniperbruce]

you probably got banned from that server or the server is down

[WolfmanNCSU]

Looks like a restricted server to me.

[TeMpEsT]

No, if I got banned then it'd say, "You are banned from this server."

[sniperbruce]

i said or server is down didn't I?

[TeMpEsT]

Server can't be down if there are players in the server.

[sniperbruce]

some clans close there severs to the public for scrims and matches also

[TeMpEsT]

That's true too. It's an odd alternative to using a password.

[Kenshin]

yeah but then it says something like "couldn't identify server or something back at the server listings

[JoeyC2k4]

Or the room is just screwed up.:)

Sorry for the late reply dont really surf these forums much...

1) Clients need to communicate with the Secure Master servers (port 27012). First, make sure there isn't a firewall problem.

2) Make sure you do NOT have a file called "woncomm.lst" in your \cstrike folder. If you do, delete it. This file should ONLY reside in your \valve folder.

3) Open the "woncomm.lst" file in your \valve folder (using notepad) and make sure there is an entry that looks like this at the bottom of the file:

Secure
{
half-life.speakeasy-nyc.hlauth.net:27012
half-life.speakeasy-sea.hlauth.net:27012
half-life.speakeasy-chi.hlauth.net:27012
}

4) If your "woncomm.lst" file DOES have the "Secure" entry and you still can't connect to the Secure Master servers, it might be a DNS problem. Try changing your "Secure" entry to look like this:

Secure
{
216.254.95.155:27012
64.81.178.5:27012
64.81.159.155:27012
}

5) Make sure you have the latest firmware for your router. We've heard reports of people with Linksys 4 port routers having problems and when they updated their firmware the problems disappeared.

Thanks, it was the woncomm.lst file.
