    Yes, I am running all my servers on Windows Server 2008 R2. What problems are you having?

    The OS is a VM on ESXi. When I launch server.exe I get this:

    What OS is this running on ? Windows ? Linux? The fact that this is a VM on an ESXi is not very interesting :)


    The interesting part is

    <!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->Failed to load Steam Service
    ServiceStart: failed to start<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    Check your network Setup. Is the sever exe able to connect to Steam ?

    Perhaps check it with <a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645" target="_blank">Procmon</a> if a connection to a server fails from your server exe.

    Guess you missed the heading - 2008 R2.

    It appears that server.exe isn't starting all of its services.

    Yes - if I use procmon, I see great success for server.exe communications.

    Also, if you see this thread :http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/forums/index.php?showtopic=116757
    Chaoz has virtually the same problem and error messages I do. I'm not using AWS. This is my own environment.

    So, those are standard errors that shouldn't effect your servers normal operation. Are you unable to join your server after you start it?

    Unable to join the server. Also when I "tab" to open the console, I get a grey screen. It doesn't seem to accept input of any type.

    What error do you get when you try to join?

    Also, you need to hit tilde (~) after opening the grey window with tab to access the server console (it may take a few seconds to let you type anything in, though).

    Check the firewall of the server. Server.exe should be able to pass it.

    Ok, I did a packet capture on my client connecting to the server. The last packet I get from the server is this:

    Note, the client doesn't establish connectivity and the server doesn't appear in the list at all. The name of my server is "Can haz onos?" and the map it's running currently is mineshaft.

    Well - not sure what happened, but it finally started working on its own. Even shows up in the server list.

    Thanks to those that responded, I appreciate it.
