I guess this is why no-one can connect to the server. Shame, as the server was packed :(

What is the procedure for fixing this? Or is it only something that DogMeat can do?

The MH Admin tool that Doggers gave you all has the ability to stop and then restart the server.

I did that as soon as I realised there was a VAC update problem.

I've never been able to get that damn thing working. Just get a tcp/ip comms failure

I've tried with my firewall enabled and without.

Why don't we have an admin training session round at Oldie's house?   8O Then we can pop off for a pint afterwards and then back to the B&B.

That would account for my apparent inability to reset or restart any server other than my own - phew - and I thought I was turning into a goat there for a while  :lol:

MH Rcon tool (http://oldbloke.deadmen.co.uk/MHRCON.zip).

This tool is similar to HLSW but it has the ability to stop/start the HL game engine.

Extract to anywhere on your HD and run from the exe.
