Hey,
NS2 is giving the error "Authentication failed. If other multiplayer Steam games do not work either, then Steam could be down, or your firewall is blocking it."
Windows firewall is off, port 8766 is unblocked.
I have AVG antivirus running, however NS2 is on the exceptions list.
I have tried running with mods, and without - same issue.
I can play other multiplayer games on steam, I'm not VAC banned.
Tech support file is attached.
Issue resolved, more or less the local server on my machine was blocking the steam connection.

I'm sorry for these circumstances. Did you already try to run the ns2.exe as administrator? Some AVG users reported that this solved their issue.
If that doesn't help please open the console with the key above tab and next to 1 and type in verbose 3 and retry the steps that cause the issue. After that rerun the TechSupport.exe and share the newly generated zip file with us.
Do you try to play the tutorial?

@Zolja I've restarted the game, steam, my computer, and reinstalled (following the nuke guide).
