(After each step, try connecting) First. Try forwarding NO PORTS, this is what I do, it works fine . Second, if you have to forward ports, make sure your computer has a STATIC IP.
If you left the settings at the defualts, you have a DYNAMIC IP. I do not mean with your ISP, I mean with your router:
Remember that your router is 192.168.1.1, and the first static IP probably should be 192.168.1.2 If you need help getting a static ip, the router came with instructions. If you switch to a static IP, reboot your computer before trying HL
Third: Verify that your ISP is not blocking the ports, this may have happened due to recent virii, you should email tech support asking about it.
Fourth: Close every other program you have running.
If none of those work, goto start> run> and type cmd then type netstat. now click the little dos box in the upper left corner, and move down to edit, and choose mark. Now select the output from netstat., then press enter. paste that into a reply
Whenever i Try to connect to a server it says my ns execuable is out of date (i'm running counter strike) the same thing happens when i try to chat. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

I downgraded from 1.45 to 1.43 and it works now! that is: V2.1 or less router Linksys BEFSR41. hope anyone else that has this router can fix their probs too.

indeed. be careful with your firmware in the future, you should unplug all connections but the computer that is updating before you flash, it is possible that the firmware could become corrupted.
