do you have a firewall installed?

do you have a firewall installed?

[dan3411]

yes i do, but it allows me to search for the servers and it bings them up so i thought it was configured

[dsenette]

try turning off the firewall (only temporarilly for a test...turn it back on after testing) and see if it works

[jrm20]

Do you refresh or get new list every time you run the game?

[dan3411]

it let me connect when it wasn't on but how do i configure it??

[dsenette]

check page 21 here....that's how to allow internet programs through the firewall...add cs to it.

[dan3411]

yeah no luck i new all the things in there thank you very much for searching it though. i was wandering if anyone new the .exe name for the application that actually connects, because i hav set the allow all access to hl2 .exe which is the main one for the game and i was wandering if there was an other one?

[dsenette]

someone with better knowledge of your specific game may come and tell you which ports to allow..please sit tight..

make shure the firewall allows the steam application.


Try to allow steam.exe and hl2.exe

Yeah there isnt actually a CS.exe its steam and hl2, so when you try to connect does the server latency suddenly jump to 200, i had that problem i had to fordward all the steam port ranges on my router and i switched to avast anti virus and on access protection and its works fine. If you use wireless use the windows WZC or disable it dont use thrid party wireless software eg belkin utility and keep WZC running disable it in services to make sure it is off.
Also your isp might be able to help if you cant get it, was speaking to one for another problem and just asked him and he told me a quick fix for my router config as well to allow it on the routers firewall to.
