Steam ID in use... :(

[rail0r]

I have a genuine CS:S on my PC and have played on a local server with a lot of warez users on (I've seen them get %n'd before) I just tried to connect to the server and getting the error message "Steam user ID 0:0 .... already on this server". I take it this is my ID and I can't get on because they've probably got my ID and put it in as their own? I've done a search and can't find anything about this... Is this possible and is there anything I can do, also how do I find out steam IDs, do I need admin? cheers for any help... this is annoying.

To find peoples steam ID, type "status" into the console.

As to that issue, find another server, one that dosen't allow warez users and that has admins that try to get rid of them.

Once Valve patch again, you should be ok, at least for a while.

Cheers for the info... There's people in these forums that say Valve allow the warez users to play (ie turn a blind eye) because people waiting for retail HL2 can't play CS:S yet. I can see some sense in this and although many will dispute this is true (Valve as well seen as it would be stupid of them to confess) it's really stupid that I can't play on my regular server because some warez guy has changed his ID to my legal ID. I pay and have to suffer while the warezers get it easy. Nice.
