can you play any other online games? (firewall could be blocking that port) check to see if your router is forwarding the correct port. if you have a sibling playing a game on the same port, i dont think you will be able to connect (this includes both you playing) did it start all of a sudden with a certain update, either windows or steam etc? xp or vista >.> ummmm more info =P

when that happens, check the website. Either clicking directly on the "Servers" tab in the nav bar, or going into psychostats -> servers, or banboard -> sourebans will take you to a page that will tell you if the server is up or not. (the sourcebans one is actually delayed, better stick with the other two)
