Dagok: do a web search for: +global udptimeout +router Router help for slow or short server listings or line outages when you get a server list 1. Dont use USB if you can avoid it, always use ethernet. If your router has both USB and ethernet, make absolutely sure you do NOT have both plugged in at the same time. 2. Linksys BEFSR11, BEFSR41 and BEFSR81 routers the 11 and 41 versions 1 and 2 can be fixed by burning an older version of the firmware (1.47) This is mostly a client problem.

i don't think that would be the case.. because it seems to me that steam itself would probly just run on one connection. and i have xp pro and have never had this happen, and i have also used it on home as well.. and i don't see this problem flooding everywhere.. so i would assume its not the os. and i know that at times when im working my connection to its max for a period of time my connection will go out.. so i would most definatly look into it being either your internet.. or router..

Re: [hlds] Losing net connection when I refresh the server list
-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] You could always try www.speedguide.net 's tcp optimizer to change the max number of connections per server I am not sure if it will help your concern tho, as it sounds like a 'bursting' problem caused by something like antivirus/antispyware and/or a firewall or router. Maybe it's just because all 3 are contributing as well. But try the optimizer anyway.

RE: [hlds] Losing net connection when I refresh the server list - OT
Sir, I suggested a website, pointed you to a possible solution and that you simply list OT in the subject so we can properly filter our inbound. Those weew two things I gave you and 1 simple request. Not sure how long it's been since you've trudged down to a nice quiet bar and had a cold one but I'd suggest you take some time out of this weekend and go cool yourself off. Call your momma and tell her you love her or something. This is a server administration list as you well know and so should you also know that your question definitely falls into the aforementioned title of OT. The net isn't a place you show your ass at a guy who don't deserve it. If somebody else stepped on your toe today go bark at them but don't light up on me during your bad day. Might find a few teeth missing some day over shooting your mouth off like this. Just some friendly advice.

I cant get server lists if I lose connection everytime hit refresh, and it cuts off whatever else I have going that is connected to the net. I consider this a big problem. And now that I think about it, I know this didnt occur before because just last week (on previous WinXP install) I was browsing server for custom maps to play. So I really doubt its the router.

I replaced it with a proper, wireless router and the problem has went.

Maybe it's just because all 3 are contributing as well. But try the optimizer anyway.
