I believe this was addressed in an earlier post. Most notably, post #10 of this thread.

Also, if I am playing on the XP computer, when I log off of Win Server, in the upper right it says "WARNING: Connection Problem."

If I login to Win Server right after I logged off, the HLDS console is going through the startup routine and it's usually at the point where it says 'Downloading security module...' Download of the security module only happens once while the server is running and that is when it's first started.
I also addressed, the test versions of Windows I'm using are base, clean installs. So, if there's the possibility of another process causing HLDS to shutdown, it's something that's in the default installs of Win 2000, XP Pro, and Server 2003.
