CS "Could not contact server"

A5H · 17 Aug 2006 at 11:14

Just downloaded CS. Been trying to play online and getting the error "Could not contact server".

Firewall is setup fine
Tried it with firewall off, same error
Correct router ports are forwarded
Game cache is fine

The server list loads all fine and dandy. I just can't connect.
Steam is working fine so I'm lost.

Ideas?

Cheers,
Ash

Anyone please?

Waste of money if I can't get it to work.

what server is it as it could possibly be that that particular server is down.

It's every single server I try mate

How do I do that on steam?
Will it remember what I've bought etc?

I'll try ping now and will re-install later.
Thanks for the help guys.

It pings fine through windows/CMD.

That a bad thing or a good thing?

It's a netgear RP614 V3

Yeah reinstalled, still no good

It's CS 1.6.
Updated my router firmware.
Only have windows firewall. What should be the exceptions listed for the game? I have 'steam' and 'half life launcher' x 2 (one is condition zero).

This is really annoying me now. I'll try going straight through the modem now. Prat about like

Nope. Still same error

Edit: Screw it. The router and modem are in too awkward of a place to mess about with and the other PC's need their internet too.

I guess I'll just have to be happy with single player
