By the way, this is the line in the console output that brought the problem to my attention:
[L4DMM] CMatchmaking::ResolveDedicatedAddress(127.0.0.1:27015) The IP it gets is whatever the server is running on, not the actual external IP it should be getting. I've tried using the ip setting after the server starts too, but that didn't help. If I were to tell the server to run on 192.168.1.100 however, it would produce, [L4DMM] CMatchmaking::ResolveDedicatedAddress(192.168.1.100:27015) On Sun, Nov 16, 2008 at 2:51 PM, Patrick Shelley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > I get all of that, plus my lappy crashes to desk and freezes when i try to > connect to my server :( > > On 11/16/08, Daniel Worley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > My L4D dedicated was working fine until the recent updates.
