Not being to find my Steam Group Coop server listed in the L4D2 Game board. I used the ~ key and entered connect and my Ip address +:27015. It looked like I was going to connect to my server because the c2m1_highway map loading came up. However, the gray loading bar at the bottom of the page only move about 3/8 of an inch and stays there. The orange round loading thingy at the top right of the page was spinning like it usually did. Finally I was disconnected and the command window said that it had tried to connect to my server's IP address 10 times. .
I use the same server to run Counter Strike Source with the same IP and port address and i can see my server listed with the rest of the servers listed for the game and connect to them along with my server with no problems Can someone tell me how to fix this problem?
Please Help

try there
add this command
sv_consistency 0
in the file "server.cfg" at your host "\left4dead2\cfg" (or other config files you orderd.) to disable model check.
at the client, Options-Multiplayer-Custom Server Content- None(translate by Chinese, may not 100% accurate).

to show you server at the board, you need to bind your server with a STEAM_GRUOP created by players self.
add these command to the sever config
sv_steamgroup STEAM_GROUP_ID (numer replace the STEAM_GROUP_ID)
sv_steamgroup_exclusive 0

Thank You little_froy for Your reply. However, I've had a have a Steam Group ID on my Server.cfg. I've had it for many years. I've also allways found my server listed with the other Steam Group Servers (SGS). For the last two weeks the only SGS servers that I see on the SGS boards Campaign mode have pings of over 150. When my Dedicated server is listed as (a West coast region 1 or 2) It's ping is about 30 to 60. I see no servers below a 150 ping at all.
I eii add the "sv_consistency 0" line to my server.config and give that a try.

Yo little_froy; I added sv_consistancy 0 to my server.cfg and still I can't see my server on the Steam Group servers listing. I will past my L4d2 Server.cfg below. Maybe you can tell me what's wrong with it.
