Firewall Issue?

[TimSad]

Any idea why my 2 Source server (CS:GO Beta and TF2) won't respond? I can't even add them to GameTracker because of this. Is it perhaps a Firewall issue? I've got no firewall running on my VDS...

Oh, I should also add that my TF2 server used to respond and be active but something has clearly changed and I don't believe I've done anything so I'm guessing it's something to do with my VDS and the router?

Did you apply today's required game update to the TF2 server? Valve has said they'll be releasing a CS:GO update today, too, though they haven't yet.

[TimSad]

Yep both of those updates were applied for both my TF2 server and CS:GO server.

Actually, it appears that suddenly my servers are starting up as LAN. I don't know what is causing this nor have I seen anything about this issue in the mailing list. Did I perhaps miss something important in the mailing lists?

sv_lan is set to 0 for both servers.

For some reason it says something about a class C address when I try to connect...

After a bit of searching around, post #12 here is what fixed this odd issue for me... http://forums.srcds.com/viewpost/107297#pid107297

I ran into this problem myself recently (and in the past) and was trying to find a way to do exactly what this shows. Thanks for sharing.

For easier reference, here's what that post says:

Install Steam, before starting the server run steam for a few seconds or run cmd script:
reg add "HKCU\Software\Valve\Steam\ActiveProcess" /v SteamClientDll /t REG_SZ /d "c:\steam\steamclient.dll" /f
c:\steam\ - replace with the path to steam

This was mentioned on the mailing list a few times as well. Oddly, we haven't needed to do it for our servers here.
