Is the server running properly? The earlier output indicates that you just couldn't connect. Does executing "status" in its console show the IP and port # that you are trying to connect to?

You repeated your last post there, which I read before. Please answer what I asked:

Is the server running properly? The earlier output indicates that you just couldn't connect. Does executing "status" in its console show the IP and port # that you are trying to connect to?

I ask this because it seems likely that your server isn't actually running on the IP and port that you think it is.

If it makes it easier, just copy and paste the result of "status" here.

This is a quick, initial troubleshooting step, and we'll proceed from here with other things that could prevent you from connecting.

(Your connection problem has nothing to do with the BinkOpen bit.)

im not sure what you mean. did you want me to open l4d2 and go to its console and type status?
but nvm that. its wierd i jsut tried to connect 66.150.214.160:27050 and finnaly let me in the server i dont know what the deal is

To clear that up a bit, Edge was referring to the server's own console in his post, not the console in the game client. It sounds like you got it working though. Is it continuing to work properly?
