What to do? Not sure, but as soon as I find a way, I'll put the server back up.

[hapoo]

what server??

and I didn't have access???

[revil]

it was a public server so you had acess.
and most importantly it was for counterstrike.

[hapoo]

ahh, that is a waste of bandwidth.
now if it was a file server, that would have been nice
