RE: pings went from good to not good w/ no solution

2001-10-01 Thread Ryan McCullough


try a tracert. If your ping is high on your first hop, then something is
wrong iwth your comp. Else you will see it shoot up somewhere in the line.

A friend of mine who runs a server 30 miles from my house used to give me a
steady 50-60ms ping. Then Speakeasy(evil company) moved his POP from LA to
Seatle. He lives in san diego. So now instead of my signal traveling about
300miles round trip it I going about 2000miles and giving me a 120ms ping.

Yeah, I'm running HL 1108a and CS 1.3, but the problem
started before installing those.
The server is a P3 650 w/256MB of ram.
I have pinged my clan mates, and the ping time is the
same inside and outside of the game.
I have a feeling that the problem is with our ISPs and
different networks.. I also think that my ISP has
switched back bones recently.
Thanks for you help though

Do a tracert and check which hops are bad! A few got infected(nimda) and
produced bad latency. I know of 2-3 qwest hops and 2-3 alter.net were bad
and slowed people on my server down.

You have to wait for them to fix their hops.

RE: pings went from good to not good w/ no solution

2001-09-29 Thread Stan Hoeppner


CS server?  Are you currently running HLDS 1108 and CS1.3?  If so, what
speed is the CPU of the server?  CS 1.3 uses about 20-30% more CPU cycles
than 1.1 did, if I recall the posts from Valve correctly.

Check your CPU utilization on the server when it's full.  If it's averaging
70 to 80% or higher, this is probably the reason for the higher pings.  The
cause is the additional code added to CS 1.3 to fix the hitbox errors.  It's
very CPU intensive.

Also, perform some ICMP ping tests between the clients and the server, and
see if the return times are similar to the in-game ping.  If the in-game
ping is much higher than the ICMP ping, this is due to your CPU being
loaded.

pings went from good to not good w/ no solution

2001-09-29 Thread Joshua Davis


I am running a CS server with 1108a ..
DSL 384K/s up and down.
My clan members with cable would normally get pings of
40-80.  I got the code red virus on the server, got
rid of it, and everything was back to normal.  One day
About 2-3 weeks ago I decided to look for the Half
life update (Sierra Utilities).  This was about 5 days
before 1.3 came out.  It found an update for HL from
1106 to 1107.  I installed that.  I don't know if that
was why, but ever since then all my clan mates have
pings above 100 w/lag.  I contacted my ISP they ran
tests and tweeked everything.  I don't think it's me,
because I get players from Canada and NY connecting
with pings around 60. (I'm in Va, USA)  My clan mates
live a few miles from me.  I would like to blame the
problem on their ISP and the networking/routes.
Anyone know what might be the problem?  I have full
antivirus that I update daily, and I have reinstalled
HL and CS on the server.  I was about to re install
all the software on the server, but my ISP said it was
most likely a connection thing.

Please help,
