I am newbie here and dont know how to HL work, but maybe this can
help:
Is pfnCVarGetString("port") the client or the server port?
Every client that connect (0,1,2...) will receive is own port. Client
0 will receive port n, Client 1 will recive port n+1, etc...
Maybe you ask for client port, not server port. To debug this can be
better to do the testing with a dedicated server, not a loopback :D
Anyway remenber that status, cl_messages, dedicated and condebug where
your friends.
