There is a very useful utility called tcpview that I'd recommend using (google it). This will show you all open sockets on your machine. How I would proceed is to first start your server and then run tcpview to verify what listening ports are being opened. Then forward ONLY these in your firewall rules. Also open up ALL outgoing ports for now. Next, start hl in a window on your client machine while running tcpview. Check to see what sockets are being opened by hl.exe. If your client is attempting to use one of the ports that are forwarded externally, you could have a problem. Also check to see what ip address your client attempts to connect to.

I am having the same problem. Loaded client game to another box, on the same subnet as the other box that gets the error, and the same thing happened 'Invalid Steam UserID Ticket error'. It would be nice to play on the server I'm administering, instead of getting phone calls hey Ned change the c4 timer, BTW were having a bast, sorry you can't play. The server is directly connected to the router/dsl bridge, the other boxes are on a subnet behind a file server running wingate. I have checked the firewall screen and it isn't showing any stopped port attempts, so wingate isn't the problem. When I get off work today I will try connecting one of the client boxes directly to the router/bridge and see what happens, can't leave it in that configuration thou, so even if that works it won't solve my problem. Already tried changing client ports, server is a P4 2.5 win2k sp4, client 1 Athalon 2500xp+ win2k sp2, client 2 Athalon 2500xp+ win98se Alfred Help please, Ned Ook wrote: > I have to question the instructions that say to use different client > ports. > I moved the account that generated Invalid Steam UserID Ticket error to > another box, and it worked from there.
