Are HL1 Master Servers working? Server not appearing in master list anymore

[john8bit]

My dedicated server no longer shows up in the master list of games, but you can connect to it if you have the IP in your favorites. This is a dedicated server in a data center and I do not think that I am having a port forwarding issue. I've been using this host for 7+ years. I'm noticing that I can't ping the master servers that I know of and I also do not see the " Masterserver added xx.xxx.xxx.xx" feedback in the startup any longer.

$ ping hl1master.steampowered.com
PING hl1master.steampowered.com (208.64.200.117) 56(84) bytes of data.

--- hl1master.steampowered.com ping statistics ---
7 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 6000ms


valve@46:~$ ping 208.64.200.118
PING 208.64.200.118 (208.64.200.118) 56(84) bytes of data.

--- 208.64.200.118 ping statistics ---
4 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 2999ms

Any thoughts?

You need to tell anyone who is still checked as participating in the steam Beta to opt out of it. Those are the people who cant see your server - something screwy going around with anyone's masterserver file for anyone still checked as being in the beta.

thank you!

using the tool that was provided, I see that my server is being rejected for "Bad Version". The autoupdate feature recognizes that 2 updates are avaiilable, but I cannot get them to process. I might rebuild the server from scratch using the latest binaries.
