Hi, There!
It doesn't necessarily have to be a mod issue. A buddy of mine has the same problem Mod On or Off.
He can join my server thru HL but not via the ingame connection menu (IP) -> timeout.
However we tracked the problem down to either:
a) his software firewall and virus-tracker (Kaspersky), or
b) his new router, which might need some configuration (hardware firewall issue?!).
We're still laboring on it, but as far as I know us two lazy butts, we'll be settling for me putting up a server on HL where he can join from and my other buddies can decide for themselves, whether they connect via IP or HL :wink:
Wish you good luck and please post, if you've found a solution!
Cheers!
