To this day, there are still a large number of people who play Half-Life online. There is a website that shows a list of servers that are available to play:

https://www.gametracker.com/search/hl/US/

In the half-life menu, I go to Multiplayer --> Internet Games --> Add Server. I add the IP port from the website's list and it attempts to connect. After a couple of seconds, it tells me that it could not connect to server, even if it shows that there are a number of players in it. What is going on here? Is there something I need to get into the servers?

2004 came and passed. Half-Life is exclusively maintained on Steam since. There are players on Steam. All the servers on that list are the Steam version. There's no way around that.

Speaking of WON, I recently checked out something called WON2, a community that restores online multiplayer to the non-steam versions of Half-Life, Counter Strike, and Team Fortress.

I was able to install the WON2 listings, allowing me to access their servers.

Yes, the old WON version of HL has unofficial patches that allow you to play on WON2 community servers. Tried it out once. Quite nostalgic. It's not just the interface that's different, though. The rendering engine is different as well and also quite nostalgic.

That said, if you use your WON HL CD key on Steam you can unlock Half-Life, Opposing Force, Blue-Shift, Team Fortress Classic, Counter-Strike, Day of Defeat, Deathmatch Classic, and Ricochet to your account. I shopped around thrift stores for old retail copies of HL, OP4, and BS so I could unlock the keys for my siblings.
