I have heard that HL doesnt like IPX games in win2k. That error means that the winsock connection was reset.

Yes, if you check the Counter-Strike Forums under Server Ops we have been dicussing this problem. I think it has to do with authorizing to the master servers.. if you run the cmd line with -noipx and -nomaster it seems to work fine but of course your game won't be listed anymore. The moderator tells me he talked with a guy from Valve and it will be fixed next patch around.
