hello, i can't get VAC to work properly.
i get the following message:
version : 47/1.1.2.5/Stdio 3651 insecure (secure mode enabled,
disconnected from Steam3)
i tried reinstalling hlds like some posts suggested, but it didn't do me
any good
i have secure "1" in liblist.gam and i don't start the game with
-insecure.. what else could be causing this?
Your connection to the Steam servers is probably failing.
If you are versed in UNIX, you can use "strings" and "grep" to try
fishing out the hostnames (tip: they'll probably contain
valvesoftware.com) from all the .so files, then try "ping"ing these
servers, etc. etc. etc. If you're even more versed, you could use
tcpdump and/or ethereal to capture all the network communication the
dedicated server is doing and analyze it to find the problem.
For starts, if you're not sure that your Internet connection is working
perfectly, try running a simple ping such as "ping google.com". If ping
doesn't output anything, try "nslookup google.com" to see if your DNS
servers are working.
At the end of the day, you'll probably end up having to do something as
menial as unplug and re-plug your router into the mains or reconfiguring
your server's network interface for it to start working again. (Believe
me, I once struck alarm on this very list when my Net connection didn't
work... and yes, my router was to blame. A 230V [common mains voltage
across Europe] restart later, everything worked again.)
I hope I'm not sounding like one of those $3-per-minute support-line
people, trying to avoid causes of radioactive human stupidity like "is
your printer actually turned on?"... ;-)
