I haven't broken any rules. Please help me with this, i play on the wcs server regularly and have 170 or so hours on it. Its all i play when i get on cs:s.
i usually get the same thing when im connecting from university.

this pretty much means that the 27015 port is blocked.
Try going on the test server since it's a 27016.
if it worked, it means my assumptions are true.
if not, it could either means that the whole port range is blocked, or smthn totally different...

it has nthn to do with u ... is there any thing that changed with ur isp? are u connecting from the same places u've always playedfrom?


edit: i just saw that u are able to connect to other servers and the test servers.
soooooooooooooooooooo, i was right. u're port 27015 is blocked.
Are u running a VPN by any chance? or connected to one? bcos at my university, it's this vpn that blocks the range.

IF YOU ARE THE OWNER OF THE NETWORK, google "how to forward port 27015" and do it urself.
if ure simply connecting to one.. tough luck.. u're screwed... like me at university...
