I can let you have my Belkin router if you're just needing a router to play.... let me know, and I'll UPS it out ASAP.

Dear Dark,

I apologize for sticking my big nose into your personal business. When a guest's stay in your home goes from weeks to months, a red flag should fire in your head. To avoid bigger problems, and take said named guess out of their comfort zone (your house) sit down, have a meeting, and discuss an end date for the situation. To take an optimistic point of view, we all perform better when the task isn't open ended and a deadline looms.

Like a dead cat in the basement, the problem doesn't usually get better until it is dealt with. If WOW is involved, consider a 5 day deadline. People have been known to ignore RL when WOW comes into the picture, (3rd party unconfirmed intel),

Look forward to your return.

Good morning,

I wonder if anyone has any ideas on how to get my L4D2 rented gameserver passworded successfully.

When I try to password my server by adding the line sv_password "<password here>" to server.cfg, it seems to down the gameserver. (i.e., big red bar in HLSW; cannot connect.)

Removing the line and restarting seems to result in the gameserver coming back online. (i.e., big green bar in HLSW; can successfully connect.)

Bit of a strange one.

I wonder if there is any way to successfully get the gameserver passworded and running?

Any thoughts are much appreciated.

I see -- thanks for the heads-up.

I also had some replies to my question over here, if anyone is interested:
