@Michael
I ran a dedicated server and recieved this error:

ERROR: couldn't open custom.hpk.
Dropped Nephilim from server
Reason:  Client sent 'drop'


will that help figure out my problem?? Also I noticed it is using my
Internal IP shouldnt it use my External??

At least try running a dedicated server. If your computer has enough
power,
you can play too. I was able to do it for a few days while fixing my
server.
At the very least, maybe there will be an error message in the server
console that will give a hint to your problem.

BTW, your screen shot of the steam test page didn't come thru.

@Scott
I have a normal IP if that is what your looking for?? I realise they need
nuthing special but it just doesn't work, I have no Problem Hosting other
games just Halflife on Steam??  and I dont wanna do a Dedicated server as
I
wanna play as well.
Yes, Steam has a TEST port page I found it on the Support Pages. Somewhat
usefull for Diagnosing Peoples problems to see if there ports are open or
Not.

that is why I am here trying to find out if it might be a Hardware or
Software problem as this is not a easy nut too crack, I have exhausted all
the Support sites FAQ and answers for common problems I was sent here by
the
support site to get an answer to my question that they couldn't answer why
I
cant Host??

Steam page to test ports????  What is that?  I am not aware of that.

There servers really do need NOTHING special to work.

When you go to http://www.whatismyip.org/ what is your ip address?

Also what is the name of your server so you can check for it on
www.gametiger.net ?

If the ports are open and the server is running properly and it is
seto to sv_lan 0 then they should work.  But you might also check to
make sure you have the sv_region set properly.

All the resources you need are located in the steampowered support area.

http://tinyurl.com/koh6s

Please check the very first 4 results from this search.  If you have
already looked at them I suggest you look at them again and then
verify them and maybe look at them and verify them again.  Triple
check them.  Because these are all you need.

@DlinkOz
here is a screenshot of the Steam page to Test Ports as you can see I
passed so the ports are open and it is NOT a PF Problem if it was
that simple I could solve it!!
