The problem I'm experiencing with my SRCDS server is that, upon boot i get an error message ('Could not establish connection to Steam servers'), I can connect to the server, but VAC is not enabled and the server doesnt show up in the public server list, assuming this is the problem.
The server is in a colocation facility.
Any advice would be great, been trying to fix this for days.
Thanks.
EDIT: There's also a GMod server running on the same internal network, but even when that's off and/or the ship server receives identical port config and forwarding it still doesn't work. I've ran multiple Netstats and opened/forwarded any ports listed. Still didn't fix the problem.
