<div class="IPBDescription">but i [I]am[/I] online</div> my internet connection is fully functional, i have made no changes whatsoever to my computer in any way, but for some reason i can't connect to any servers.
i have 2.0, and have been playing it since it came out, and it has worked fine. then all of the sudden when i click a server to join it, i fail connection one, then two, then three, and also four. so the error is failed connection after 4 retries.
i am possitive that i am connected to the internet because my internet browser works, and also with the ingame server browser when i hit update/refresh i get a <i>new</i> list every time, just as normal.
i have no idea what is wrong, any help is welcome.

yes, i have a fire wall and a router uplinked to that, the computer i use is connected directly to the fire wall.
(with cable internet connection)
i don't really know how... but even so, i have never had troubles of any kind with that in the past... ever.
any other suggestions?
(all other online games i play work... i need to try my HL mods now)
added:
nope... all HL mods fail all retries, but they all have connection to WON servers and are able to get an updated list... hmm
If you don't know how to disable your firewall, why not just remove it altogether? Just plug straight into your internet connection. If browsing servers starts working (and won auth does not use the same ports if I recall), first step is to update the firmware on your firewall/router.

i'll try the firmware.
(because i don't want that worm, i read that if you drop your fire wall, even for a second, you can get it! not that it does any damage... but it is anoying)
go to start menu, find button called windows updater
use it
update windows ALL THE WAY, you wont get anything.
simply try naming config.cfg to config.bak and then running NS (it will auto gen the basic config.cfg <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->)

but remember... it is for all my mods, including HL so i bet it's not with the NS config file..
If all other half-life mods work and NS somehow doesn't, then it almost has to be the config files, maybe one bad setting somewhere. So unless you have trouble with other HL mods, or even HL classic deathmatch, best bet would be to create a fresh config file - that is, delete the current one or rename it.
(and yes, now that I think about it - the fps_modem line is unlikely to be the trouble)
Half-life+any mod for it does not work. always fails after 4 retries.
1. I have set my IP to a Static adress, no longer automaticly determined.
2. I have updated my firmware on my firewall router.
3. I have the dreaded "BEFSR41" linksys router that has problems like this all the time.
4. I have tested Half-life on every computer I own, and none of them work. (all the same problem)
5. I have 1.1.1.0 and everything normally required to run Half-life and any mod.
6. I don't know what to do.

If playing games like Quake or Battle.net, port 27960 must be opened in the router's advanced feature.

I have no recollection whatsoever of HL ever using this port, but it can't hurt to try.
I tryed that port, I tried 27005 and 27015.
and then I tried 1 through 65535.
Nothing seems to do the trick...
How do I set up a static WAN adress?(how do I determine my DNS, IP, whatnot?) I have already done static individual computer LAN adresses.
have any other suggestions then?
