Thanks for the explanation Bliss. I myself was having trouble connecting to our server one time and that sounds like exactly what you described.
We had a new guy try to join earlier this week but kept failing authentication. Finally last night he was able to join.
I have been restarting my server a couple times a day when I am coding and updating things, but other than that I try and leave it alone. I will keep a better watch on it now though.
One thing I do seem to be having trouble with is the Server losing connection to Steam. I will notice that the server does not show up in the client list. I go to the server and see a little message box that steam has disconnected. At that point I try and shut everything down and restart but Steam says it is trying to sync. It may stay that way for 5 minutes or 2 hours before I am finally able to get the server back online. Any Ideas what that might be ?
Thanks,
WildWillie
