Unhappy cant play counter-strike

hi all,
is anyone else having any problems? Loaded up CS and clicked on "Find Servers" and it comes back saying that it cant find any servers!...none what so ever, even UK servers Surely this cant be down to the alantic cable problems/DNS servers?! And CS works on IP addy's not domain names, so i would have though that it wouldnt be relying on the DNS servers?

If anyone can shine some light on this, it will be much appreciated
Dom

have you upgraded CS to 1.6 and steam yet ?

this may have a bearing on the problem..

I had this a couple of days ago, but forced steam to refresh and they came back...

Steam has been a little unreliable over the last couple of weeks...

when it starts up - do you get "game not available" or something like that?

I've had this a few times. You need stop Steam and delete a couple of files in the Steam config folder. The files are masterservers.vdf and serverbrowser.vdf. Then restart Steam and everything should be back to normal.
