That number is an IP adress. I'm not what is exactly either, guess it's just where you find the server or something.

Now, there's a number of ways to find a server. Using the IP, you can go to Servers in the tf2 main menu, then in the Favorites tab, go near the bottom and click add a server. It should ask you for an IP adress, and then just type/paste it in, either add games at that adress to your favorites or search for games at that adress and add those, and the server should be added to your favorites.

Another way is you can go to the History tab, which shows all the servers you been to. Just serch for the one you're looking for, right click and add to your favorites. I find it helps if you organize them by date.

You can search all of TF2's servers, or through some of your friends' servers as well.

I hope this helped, because I have no idea what I'm talking about.

If you have the IP address you can open the console and just type "connect " and paste the address. You can also just join your buddies through Steam, just right-click and hit Join Game.

if you are in a server you type "status" in the console to get the server IP
how to connect to a server you should type "connect 35.226.209.186:27015" example
35.226.209.186 == public IP, 27015 == server port
every user has their own port my port can be 27006 example.
Just let this die, guys. I'm pretty sure this is long-since solved.

im searching for the server at 51.254.211.255:27015 and it says no games responded. does that mean the server is down and or deleted?
