Cannot Play CS:S on Public Servers

I don't know what happened, but for the past few days, I cannot join any public CS:S server. The server list refreshes, but after I pick a server to play, the console displays "Connecting to server...". After five seconds, I get an error message "Connection failed after 4 tries."

I tried many servers, but I got the same message. When I play a LAN game, everything is fine.

I can't figure out what's wrong. :sad:

[EDIT]: It seems like a lot of people are having this problem after the Steam Update on Dec. 23rd. It happens with HL2DM as well as DoD:S servers. There doesn't seem to be a real solution yet. I think this is yet another Valve's bugs that was introduced with the rushed updates.

I get this too, but only for international servers. I can connect to
the ones ending in .ro just fine. Still annoying as hell though.

I was getting that randomly with certain DoD:S servers after
Christmas. I had to try a bunch of different servers before I
could find one that would let me connect. I'm not sure what the
problem is though...

the holidays and a lack of server updatingmay be a part of it too eh?

Doc B... :dodgy:

But this is still happening now. The holiday is over (for most of us).

I found this thread at the Steam forum. This might solve my problem. We'll see tonight.
