Now, my vs.net debugging is rusty - so I stand to be corrected but: do you not have to have the symbols file (.dpg or .dbg) accessible to vs.net in order to obtain the call stack frames, etc? Some mods ship with these files - but not all. (Which is to be expected, since apps compiled with debug are not quite as performant). I have not been able to locate a symbols file for srcds.exe - I don't think one is shipped. The vast majority of exceptions are trappable in exception handling blocks. Exception wrapping is a bit of a coding pain, to be sure, but eventually, as with all good coding practices, it become habit.

RE: [hlds] Bandwidth woes and where to colo?
8 servers? What MOD? And are they HL servers? How many players per server? Paladin82 (LGSO) -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ryan Bennett Sent: Friday, June 04, 2004 11:51 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [hlds] Bandwidth woes and where to colo? Yes, ThePlanet and ServerMatrix are within the same company. I am an employee there, and I work in the NOC (tech support). It is great to here good remarks about good support! We have 8 major backbone providers with a total of 12 gigabits of redundant bandwidth. The difference between SM and ThePlanet's servers is mostly in price. They both provide outstanding performance and are of top quality. I do see more issues, from a tech standpoint, on the SM boxes. The reason for this, we sell a lot more SM servers and most of the users toy with their boxes ALL the time, which ususally ends up in some type of issue because a miss configuration or error on the user's end. I really hope you enjoy your SM or ThePlanet box! If you haven't picked one yet, I would highly recommend the entry level Total Control server in the Pro series for hosting game servers. Duel Xeons clocked at 2.8ghz with hyper-threading provides and extream machine to host lots of game servers. I have a similar setup there on Win2k3 and I can host a solid 8 servers on my machine.

Date: Fri, 4 Jun 2004 20:19:50 -0700 Do you mean single homed? If so, then you are mistaken, theplanet actually buys from multiple backbones. But, if he got a server with them, then of course /he/ would be single-homed. -John - Original Message - From: Shane Robinett [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 04, 2004 8:07 PM Subject: Re: [hlds] Bandwidth woes and where to colo?

The Planet and ServerMatrix, to my knowledge, are both operated by the same company, The Planet's bandwidth is more quality geared, while ServerMatrix more value, but don't get me wrong, ServerMatrix offers a great performance/price ratio with adequate hardware available for lease.

I have had to resort to a residential cable modem account because the business cable accounts are horribly over priced, and my phone lines are crap. I am majorly depressed. So, either Ooks Steaming Pile of Crap dies, or I find some other place to host it. Any recommendations? I know the other guys said The Planet, but this company is part of 'em, and their dedicated server deals are definitely worth checking out. http://www.servermatrix.com/servers.html We went with one of these rather than colo. The hardware was comparable, but we ended up with more bandwidth than the colo plans offered, and at a cheaper price. Service and support have been awesome in the few months we've been with 'em. There was a weird temporary outage today though. Both Server Matrix and The Planet fell off the face of the earth for a few minutes, then everything came back. First outage we've had with 'em though. -- Tim ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds _ MSN Premium with Virus Guard and Firewall* from McAfeeR Security : 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?pgmarket=en-capage=byoa/premxAPID=1994DI=1034SU=ht tp://hotmail.com/encaHL=Market_MSNIS_Taglines ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds _ Is your PC infected?

RE: [hlds] Clients dropping and lagging 4.1.0.8 b2
Thank you for staying on top of things. You guys are doing a great job! Paladin82 -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Eric Smith Sent: Wednesday, October 24, 2001 1:48 PM To: Half-Life Dedicated Server Mailing List Subject: RE: [hlds] Clients dropping and lagging 4.1.0.8 b2 This might be related to the long name exploit currently being used. It causes severe lag with all the players in the server and sometimes crashes the server. We'll be releasing a fix for this either later today or tomorrow. More information will be sent to the mailing list when the release is ready. -Eric -Original Message- From: Alex Lane [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, October 24, 2001 1:32 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [hlds] Clients dropping and lagging 4.1.0.8 b2 I seem to lose a few clients every 10/15 minutes. The symptoms are they are experiencing lag yet their ping is under 60ms. Then they either recover or drop. Firewall log shows that there was a lot of UDP traffic on port 0 coming from the clients. The firewall interprets this as a teardrop DoS attempt and filters those packets. This was not the case with 4.1.0.7. Is this related to the new voice comms ? We could sacrifice the voice feature if need be. Would it be possible that someone could publish what TCP and UDP ports HLDS 4.1.0.8 b2 needs to have open ? ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
