What I would like to do is get the server up to 32 players and we did last night but my ping was 150 that's about 80 over the best I can get because of the distance from the host to me. Before all the steps below I was getting 200 pings at 24 players but their has to be more I can do? 1) We re-compiled the kernel with the 1000MZ Option and removed un-need items from kernel with is now only 818kb in size. 2) We did Tweaks from Brad @ www.gammagaming.com below. Under Redhat you can use the redhat-config-proc. If you did not install X then you can just edit the /etc/sysctl.conf and add the following: kernel.core_uses_pid = 1 net.core.rmem_default = 65535 net.core.rmem_max = 131071 net.core.wmem_default = 65535 net.core.wmem_max = 131071 net.ipv4.tcp_fin_timeout = 60 net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_time = 7200 net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_probes = 9 net.ipv4.tcp_syn_retries = 5 net.ipv4.tcp_max_syn_backlog = 1024 net.ipv4.tcp_retries1 = 3 net.ipv4.tcp_retries2 = 15 net.ipv4.tcp_syncookies = 1 net.ipv4.tcp_retrans_collapse = 1 net.ipv4.tcp_sack = 1 net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps = 1 net.ipv4.tcp_window_scaling = 1 net.ipv4.icmp_ignore_bogus_error_responses = 0 net.ipv4.icmp_echo_ignore_all = 0 net.ipv4.icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts = 0 net.ipv4.ip_default_ttl = 64 net.ipv4.ipfrag_time = 30 net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter = 0 net.ipv4.ip_no_pmtu_disc = 0 net.unix.max_dgram_qlen = 10 net.token-ring.rif_timeout = 307200 fs.file-max = 209664 vm.bdflush = 30 500 0 0 2560 15360 60 vm.overcommit_memory = 0 vm.kswapd = 512 32 8 vm.page-cluster = 3 vm.pagetable_cache = 25 50 kernel.ctrl-alt-del = 0 kernel.panic = 1 kernel.acct = 4 2 30 kernel.printk = 6 kernel.rtsig-max = 1024 kernel.shmall = 2097152 kernel.shmmax = 33554432 Then run /sbin/sysctl -p Now a lot of the settings above are just defaults and some are modified like the fs.file-max and a few others. These settings are what is wrote when you use the redhat-config-proc. Might want to use it if you can since it has help on each item. 3) The Start-up command line but the "nice" does not work for some reasion? nice -n -5 su hlds -c "./hlds_run -game dod -noipx &">/home/hlds/server1/hlstart.log 2>&1 4) I removed pingboost because of the 1000MHZ kernel my understanding is that pingboost will do no good now?
