When I open NS and go to internet games sometimes it'll log into valve and sometimes it wont. When it doesn't log in it just sorta sits there and does nothing. When it does log in I get the place for the list but when I click update it either says "cannot get server list" or loads severs but only 2 or so show up even thought it was loading a hundred or so. Of the two that show up it says "cannot connect to server". Anyone have any idea what to do? <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

Just close and start Half-Life again
Ok, did you switched off the Windows XP Firewall?
Windows XP got a firewall built in.
Download All Seeing Eye:

trust me I am behind a fully stealthed firewall, there is no reason to open any ports, HL dosn't need them (unless you run a server)
now, I wish people wouldn't be stupid about XP, it is perfectly fine. (I use 2k but what ever)
but yes, try ussing <a href='http://www.udpsoft.com/eye2/index.html' target='_blank'>ASE</a>, it is very nice toy
what are your syspecs?
Or, you can just drag the "Launch Natural Selection" onto desktop so you won't have to do all that stuff.
as for WON, there is always the possibility that won is being flaky (specialy if lots of people sart getting this) I havn't played NS in a week or so (due to wolf:ET <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->), again TRY ussing ASE
and if that don't work post your system specs (always post your syspecs with all tech help qs)
