Retard + n00b = meh

Why oh why can't i get on to CS? I go through GameSpy servers, get up to the loading screen with the CS blokey stood there. Then some writing comes up and says:

Could not get IPX socket name
IPX disabled (What is this?)
Reason: WSAENOTSTOCK (And this?)

Then some numbers follow (probably IP addresses)
Then it'll say something like failed after 4 retries to connect to some bollox.

Then it connects to something and details of the game come up. Then nothing, just a [.
What happens next? Do i wait for eternity?

Yes, i am fully patched for both CS and HL. No filters are on either.

The error message happens to everyone. You can stop it happening by adding -noipx to your command line.

Can you get us a screenshot? (type screenshot in the console) Or you could just try typing retry and see if that works.

If your'e talking about mah connection speed, its a 56k.
The server no. is 195.11.238.163:27045, I've also tried on other servers but it just stops.

Now i get:

Server authentication complete invalid
Authentication failure on 195.11.238.163:27045
Server authentication complete invalid
Authentication failure on 195.11.238.163:27045
Server validation failed after 3 retries

try..

194.117.138.233:27016 that one, its BlueYonder one (incase you didnt pay for Barrysworld )

It works so if you get problems its to do with your connection/CS Setup

Well, can you start a LAN game?

Lets start basic and go from there.

 

[Sir Frizz]

Yes, i can.

 

[Will]

Good start.

Lets see, next, do you have a firewall running, or a horrible complex network?

 

[Sir Frizz]

Nope.

 

[Will]

A man of few words, very nice.

How about a HLDM server? (Vanilla online halflife)

 

[Sir Frizz]

Wait a minute! Just spotted something mah pops put up: Norton Internet Security.
