No Gorky, its not the updates and different versions are not the problem there is only one version of cs:s. obviously they both have counter strike source and their is never any updates to the game and rarely updates to steam and said updates are for the steam friends not online game play or servers it is completely irrelevant. Updates have nothing to do with setting up a server, the create server option is for offline mode or for your personal LAN that is why its not responding updating has nothing to do with the fact that the create server is for not an actual online server. It is also not the firewall because he is he has played on other online servers before and so has his brother so the firewall is not blocking online play. To get an actually online server you have unblock ports and install it and go threw numerous process to get it online (people connect to the said computer) one or buy a server. Just think If people could just make an online server with the click of a button these websites wouldn't exist.

Answer 2

As you will play to I assume that we are talking about a non-dedicated server.



First make sure you both have an original copy of the game. And that your server is visible via Steam's Server Browser.



Than make sure both you and your brother have all the games updates and Steam Client Updates setupped. To play together you both need to have the same versions of everything.



It may also be caused by your internet connection or firewall. If you have a weak connection, the server would not be stable and it would be hard for a far client to join in. You may consider an upgrade.



Also make sure your firewall allows other computers to connect to yours. It would be impossible to accept server clients if otherwise.

Your ISP would desire to be screwing up the ping,or the server which you are attempting to connect is in a a techniques away place,attempt starting to be a member of a interior sight interest server with a ping below one hundred.i'm hoping this works for you.
