Everyone else read on.

L4D servers work a bit differently than your standard TF2 or CS servers because of the matchmaking system.
Players will be randomly connecting to the server as the matchmaking system reserves their lobby with it.

I will explain how you can force your lobby to connect to the server.

Enable your console in the game options.
Type the following into your console to bind the server browser to F12. (you can chose any key to bind)

bind F12 "openserverbrowser"

now hit F12 to open the server browser and add the server ip to your favorites:
72.37.204.10:27015

Now you will be able to check if anyone is playing on the server and if there is room for you to join. If not, wait until it is empty and follow these steps to connect to it yourself.
Do not connect directly to the server from the server browser because it will not be reserved with a lobby.


Type this in console to bind F11 to set the search key:

bind "F11" "sv_search_key PendulumGaming"

(note: you only have to type these binds once and they should be saved for the next time you start the game)

Now whenever you want to force your lobby to connect to our server all you have to do is press F11 before you start the game.
Note you must be lobby leader for this to work.

If it doesnt work it might be because someone is already playing on it, check in your server browser by pressing F12 or any other key you binded.
