Alfred, Had them wait more than 10 minutes. Still got the same error. Even when he created a new account and went thru the entire download. (takes longer than 10 minutes for that). Also rebooted, as well as logged out and back into steam. He could join some servers, but not others. Possibly unable to join linux servers but able to join win servers. I label my server as linux, but other servers do not and in steam he can not tell which servers are linux or win so not able to verify for sure.
He cannot check in steam but he can copy paste the server ip and check with HLIT or any other server browsing tool (HLSW).
Would be good to know if it's an OS specific problem.
