The BEFSxxx were pure crap. I'm using two WRT54Gs, and I've had real good luck with. I got tired of Netgears limited routers, and didn't have the money for a Cisco (though I wish now I had bought one anyhow). I also use the sveasoft firmware instead of Linksys's lameware that the router comes with, and it's very reliable. The think I hated about my netgears was the buggy firmware. I think the BEFSxxxx had the same problem, as mine would reboot on a regular basis.
On Steam right now I see:
65.219.179.21:27017 Dicko CS:Source Dedicated Server 65.219.179.21:27015 Dicko 24/7 Avalanche DOD v1.2
This is what I saw earlier. I'm voting on the router causing this. Of all the buggy stuff Steam may do, this isn't a problem I've seen before. If your router has the port forwarded, it appears properly on Steam.
Got any snow on the ground yet?

You know, Ook, I use to love Linksys Routers until I started RMA the damn things every 2-3 months. The Dlink DI-624 is the Schiznit! Rock steady. Nice piece of equipment, for a home user's router. Unlike the Linksys WRT55G, I can forward as many ports as I want.
It has some really nice features... Like reporting my port clear out into the wild blue yonder!
Here are the results for this morning:
65.219.179.21:61782 "Dicko CS:Source Dedicated Server"
That came straight from the steam servers list. I even tried Bahamut's suggestion last night. Even tried a port setting of 60100. Still changed it. Even put the Game Server into the DMZ. Still changed it.
Now I added a second CS:S server at port 27018. Stopped and restarted the first CS:S server. I checked the info from the steam server list and here is what I get.
65.219.179.21:27015 "Dicko 24/7 Avalanche DOD v1.2" 65.219.179.21:27017 "Dicko CS:Source Dedicated Server" 65.219.179.21:62480 "Dicko CS:Source Test Dedicated Server"
Now I'm really confused! Dont get me wrong, 2 of 3 is pretty good, but, how about some consistency!
I'll drop the "Test Server" and let the fist one run, but I remain perplexed. Is it router or is it Steam?
Thanks for the feed back, Gents.... you to Ook!
Game ON!!!!!

Allen, dLink is evil - what happened to your Linksys?
If the CS:S server is not on 27017 where you put it, it's quite likely that the dLink is not forwarding the port. However, hlsw shows it is on the correct port, and in the server list I see:
65.219.179.21:27015 Dicko 24/7 Avalanche DOD v1.2 65.219.179.21:27017 Dicko CS:Source Dedicated Server
So I'm guessing you fixed it?

Hi All,
I run 2 servers, DOD and CS:S, set to ports 27015 and 27017 respectively. But, when I go to check the details in the master server list, the CS:S server is report a port up in te 60,000's and the DOD server is right on the nose! WTF! I switched the servers ports and the DOD server was given a port of 60,000 something and the CS:S server was right on the money! Arrrghhh!
I use a Dlink DI-624 with ports 27015 and 27017 forwarded to the game server. I even set a firewall rule to forward any 27000-27100 traffic to the game server. Is this just me, or has anyone else had this issue. I would have loved to check the Steam forums, but the search has been disabled.
Help!
Thanks.
