HALP!

So, i’ve discussed this with just about anyone who will listen, but I still can’t seem to get this to work.

 

 

We got Time Warner cable today at the new house I am living in. Once we did I brought my computer in from my old house and hooked it up. I got the internet working, and everything is fine EXCEPT for CSS. For some reason I can get on steam, even find servers, but any time I try to connect to one, it doesn’t work. It says it fails after 4 attempts every time. I have tried pretty much everything I can think of or that has been suggested (e.g. restarting steam, checking my ports, disabling firewalls). Idk what is the problem. All other online activities including other games seem to work finr ( although i don’t own any other steam games to check if they work). Any help would be appreciated. I am so close yet so far from being able to play counterstrike it is infuriated. I feel like it is some dumb thing, as EVERYTHING else works except for the one game I want to play. HALP PLEASE!

download age of chivalry and test and see if that works

 

it is free since you have CSS

I tried Age of Chivalry. It does not work either, so it seems that all steam games don’t function

For the life of me I can’t tell what router I have. The thing seriously has no brand markings. It’s whatever one Time warner gives you nowadays. Also Ex convinced me to uninstall steam so now i have to dl css again.

 

I sent a picture of some of the lables on the router to citan for him to tell me what kind it is, but he is being fat right now.

Update: We figured out the router and did all the port forwarding things but still no dice. Port checker says the ports are still blocked. I don’t think any firewalls are blocking them. No clue what to do next =(

 

Edit: I called the ISP this morning to see if they might be blocking the ports, but they said they do not block any ports.

Time Warner does not block ports, it’s either your firewall or your router.

 

You could try posting the pics of your modem/router or sending them to someone that does this sort of thing for a living…

We couldn’t figure out what was blocking the port, but managed to start css through a different port.

 

 

Major thanks to Mat0, Ex, Citan, and everyone else who helped me through all this.
