    Maybe the firewall?

    Everytime there is an update for NS2 my Forewall starts to complain about "changed .exe" and the Serverlist stays empty
    If I grand acess to the game in my firewall again, I can see all the Servers.

    My cousin had this problem, Turn off the Steam in game overlay, seems to cause some sort of conflict for some people.

    I had this problem. Was because of the router i was supplied. Game opens to many connections for the router to handle. Bought a new one and problem solved

    I had a similar problem too today... But it was my fault - I forgot to turn off hotspotshield (vpn for watching hulu etc). :P

    Personal firewalls are garbage. If malicious software is running on your machine, it's already too late.

    May as well throw this out there...

    You can secure your self from a common method used for spreading viruses via Networked Folders, Drives, UPnP Devices (Any USB device with sotrage including iPods).
    When you look at a folder or plug in a device, a virus will have setup an hidden Windows Autorun file that your system will exec and in turn exec the virus. So all you have to do to get a virus is look at a folder, you dont even have to open the folder, just highlight it in some cases.

    To fix this you can disable the Auto Run Polocies, <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/967715" target="_blank">http://support.microsoft.com/kb/967715</a>

    Direct link to run MS AutoFix: <a href="http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9741395" target="_blank">http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9741395</a>


    Down side is when you stick a game/film dvd into your CD drive or plug in a USB stick or anything, It wont auto launch or auto open device folder so you will have to navigate manually or setup handy shortcut icons.

    Plus side you wont get the virus sat on the device should one exist on it.
    I have found peoples iPods and external drives contain viruses that infect a PC via this autorun method.
