Some good tips.... But, I'm running TFC not CS and I'm on Windows not Linux. =\
So far, a complete server re-boot seemed to really clean out the resources and reset the server hardware and settings. My TFC server has been running fine now for over 2 hours. I think that it'll take at least a few days for it to start acting up again. I'll keep you posted.
