Steam Net/server prob

[BobBarr]

Ok so after my comp decided to call it quits I've been using my netbook to do everything. I installed steam today and installed cs and half life and all the games like richochet,day of defeat and team fortress. I knew people and my friends still play cs 1.6 however after installing the game and going to join a server the application does not find any server in every game I downloaded. I checked at my friends house and he has servers.

My netbook is using windows 7 ultimate x86 and my anti virus was Norton 360.

In windows i disabled uac and checked that nothing was being blocked.
I uninstalled norton to see if that was blocking it but norton wasnt.
I checked that the required ports are open on my router.

My game run perfectly fine offline, no major lag etc.

I think its through windows 7, is there anything I've possibly missed?

Thanks.

I had a problem with old CS through Steam because the Steam Community option was on. I shut it off and didn't have any problems after that.

File>Settings>Community Tab, uncheck In-Game Community

Hope this helps.

Make sure no server filters are active, if they are make sure they are set correct.

have you tried right clicking on steam tray icon and then go to servers . Try that and let me know if it works .
Also try going to local files tab and click on verify of game cache . Also make sure the steam client is up to date .

Uhm do you get the :
"Could not contact master game server to retrieve server list" error? when you refresh the server page ?

Try deleting the file named clientregistry.blob ( you can find it in the steam folder ! remember not to have the steam client running )
Then put the file i will upload in : \STEAM\Config folder ( make sure you make the file read only )
Then start steam , and after the update it should work .

Uploaded file ( it's just a cfg file with the ip for the masterserver - let's the game know where to get the server list from )

Also make sure that these ports are not blocked :
UDP 27000 to 27015 inclusive (Game client traffic)
TCP 27014 to 27050 inclusive (Steam downloads)

Thankyou!!!! I did everything you mentioned previously but verify the cache. Well this time i did it all again and verified at the end and servers came up! Thanks once again!
