Attached is a game-monitor image. You see two servers boxed in green. Aside from the name, both servers are running identical Half-Life Dedicated Server's, so the software side of the server itself is ruled out.
Notice the ports there. The one that is running in the 6xxxx range is what I am having problems with. They are hosted at two different locations. I have all the ports forwarded correctly, in fact I don't even have any ports in that 6xxxx range forwarded at all.
One difference is I am running Windows Vista. The strange thing is, according to the server it is running on port 27015. I even added a flag to force it to run 27015 and it still takes on these random ports in the 6xxxx range.
Could this be something in Vista or do you think it is hardware related? Has anyone experienced something like this before?
Thanks a bunch!
PS. Sometimes it doesn't even show up on the server list or game-monitor at all. In fact, people can't even connect directly to it through the IP sometimes. Yet sometimes it does work.
I ran a steam network trouble shooting tool and according to that everything is port forwarded properly.
