If u want to have the same system than in HL2DM in order to find servers (mean not go on a random server but on a server u want). You have 2 options:
option 1 :

viewtopic.php?f=9&t=18)
and type in it :
but u need to type this command each time u need it ...
or u can :
option 2 : a permanent solution
step 1 : edit the file named "MainMenu.res", u can find it in the directory "...\Steam\steamapps\common\left 4 dead\left4dead\resource\UI\L4D360UI" (before make a backup of the file)
step 2 : add the following lines before the last "{" :
if all is ok, u may have a nice menu on ur interface called "OPEN SERVER BROWSER" as the following menu :
