<div class="IPBDescription">Hangs on waiting to connect</div>i browse this forum endlessly, found a few thing not really related to my problem but close...

Well my problem is, i cant run a local host on the same machine, or less its a dedicated server, which is odd

if i create a server from in game i get a black screen, with waiting to connect at the top left.

ive waited for over a hour once, still no luck, still at the same spot not even timed out..

in console i get loads of missing models etc and yes i have reinstalled but still missing, also i have validate aswell still no luck...

all i wanted is to be able to check out my maps...

atm its a pain in the A s s i have to dedicated it just the check it out...

Game build 187
system spec

win7 home prim x64 SP 1
AMD PII x6 1090T 3.20ghz
4 gig ram
Bigfoot killer 2100 < could this be my issue

    Wow. Over an hour? And you didn't think anything was wrong after the first 120 seconds?

    Some models missing is normal (onos, jp missing errors). Did you load the local server with your maps ( I think you are building am map) if yes try a standard map, maybe the costummap lacks on essential things. Check the mapping forum.

    Did you run the local server in lan mode?
    Non local servers need open ports on the firewall/router.

    All I can help.

    Edit: just googled the bigfoot to see what it is. After a read of 30s (http://www.cclonline.com/article/137/Reviews/Networking/Bigfoot-Networks-Killer-2100-Re-Review/) I think it could be the problem

    Ok i ve now change my network card from my bigfoot to the mobo one, but still it fails, but at least its a different out come...

    i now get auth time out( failed to auth with server so some of the others problems posted on forums may help perhaps

    so that tells me this is hardware issue, so its not always the game at fault...

    lets hope i get progress..

    Normally you get an auth error if:
    •You want to connect to a local server and your ports On the firewall and/or router are closed

    •you run steam in offline mode
    •you loaded ns2 to fast after starting steam (f.e. If you use nHancer or RadeonPro)
    •your router/switch/networkcard may cause problems (test if other (steam)games work online)
    •steam sometimes has its own problems
