If anyone cares, I've fixed it. After a year of having to connect to a server twice to connect to it.

HOW2FIX. Seriously this is the shittest router I've ever had.

What did you do.

If I write it up can you put it in the tech faq so other people who have this piece of crap can play source games.

Black, is your problem that the server freezes when it's sending client info?

Yup, freezes on sending client info. Also joins some times, about 3 seconds later "WARNING: CONNECTION PROBLEM" wait until I time out or I get kicked then it works fine upon retry.

here you go black, hope this helps. Add it to the "problem with your sourceforts mod? this may help" or some other sticky.




If you have vista: first you have to go to “control panel” and then “Network and Internet” click on “View network status and tasks” click on your router

or if you don’t have vista type this into internet explorer or whatever you use http://192.168.1.254/ (I think it’s the same for everyone)

I'm not sure if that IP will work for everyone so use "run" and type in "CMD" and then "ok" then type in the cmd "ipconfig" your router IP should be the one that says "default gateway"

Then click on “advanced” on the side and click on “Continue to advanced” then log in then. Click on “devices” and click on your pc/laptop’s name and click on edit. Then find the “conection sharing” box at the bottom see if hl2 is in the drop down box and add it.

Or if it isn’t in the drop down box try this:
