Strange When I DMZ myself through my firewall, I get about 30,000 servers mo problems. The output from the qstat is as it should be.
When I turn the DMZ off, the output format changes to become like this below. It just keeps on going listing lots like this.

When connected through the firewall I never see more than 4000. I just did a test by-passing the firewall and saw almost 19000 servers. It seems the master server is providing all the server names to the browser. The browser then queries each server. If the browser does not get a response it does not display the server. Thus the 4000 server I would see were just those the firewall let through. I also tried setting my steam speed to 56k modem to see if a smaller flow would perform better, but it made no difference. My concern is if this is a common problem a large percentage of the 118,000 users of steam may only be able to see a very small fraction of the servers out there.

The server update will set most home/consumer firewalls off as an attack (udp flood) and it can easily quit accepting new connections until the old ones are gone. I have the same issue when I game on my Netscreen firewall since it limits to 2000 active sessions. I just simply connect to my Pix firewall and get the full list. _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
