My CS:S shows this error when ever I start it "connection failed after 4 retries" It shows that even when steam is in offline mode. What is it trying to connect to anyway?

It's trying to connect to a server - Steam needs to be in online mode to play multiplayer games.

Well, you should be able to play HL2SP and other single-player games in offline mode - but you need online mode on to create a server - it will need to connect to the SteamAuth servers and the VAC system.

You can start a game with 'create game' and set sv_lan 1 in the console, or make a dedicated server with the lan option.
