Problems with connecting to server

[ukpezzzz]

I get simmilar issues with this. If i try to join i get a hl2error going on about some crap i dont care about. What i do to fix this is 'bounce' off another server. This is when i join a random server with no dlc (to save time) and then join fearless. For me it works about 80% of the time. Pluss i can do this when waiting for a place to become avalable and mess around on the server im on. Hope this helps. (BTW i use windowns XP if this effects anything)
