hmmm, well i haven't forwarded a port but i'm not so sure I would really on be able to run the dedicated server and game on the same computer, as no otherone has L4D installed. If theres a way to tell what port the dedicated server is using and the port L4D itself is using I could try forward a port.

It just doesn't make any sense, why I used to be able to join my own dedicated server and then it just stopped working with this stupid connection failed error. If there is anyway of just restarting or re installing the server I'll try that.

Thanks, for the help so far.
