I'm currently going around with XO communications. One of their peers is sprintlink. seems they want to send me from chicago, to washington, to NC, to New York city, then back to chicago to make 3 hops, then finally to my provider. This routing table changed on dec 16th, and has givin me and untold others a 40 ms loop to take a tour only to arive in the very same place we departed from. They even routed one of my users that lives just outside chicago the same way for 2 days. His ping increased from 6 to almost 50. I have multiple 10/100 drops to their OC192 backbone, giving me more bandwidth than I could ever imagine using. but as long as they insist on taking people on a tour of the country side, its doesn't do a damn bit of good for gaming. Now this isn't a cable or DSL line, the problem is much larger. I've been looking over at internap lately, wondering if their systems really do the trick. I still have some users in the game playing at 15-20 pings, but alot of my users on speakeasy, comcast, and yahoo have been dramatically effected.

Yes, in the form of lack of cooling and heat buildup. If the HSF fans are plugged with dust, air cant pass thru them and cool it. My workstation fills up with this brownish sticky dust (half cigarette smoke ;) ) and after a few months I start overheating and lock-up. I clean it out and its business as usual.

The problems with using EIDE's is in a server enviroment is they arent designed for continuous usage. If your server takes a break for a portion of the day and the HDD's re allowed to power down, I wouldn't be concerned about it, but a very busy disk subsystem thats in use all day can cause the drives to fail over time. Try running a performance check to see how they are working. Also, if the drives are subjected to extreeme heat or inproper mounting they can have troubled. I believe most manufactures recommend 1/8" min clearence around the drives. But since you say its a "client" I dont think these factors should have an effect. More of a FYI ;) I would run something like ATTO and see how they are performing. Also, I've heard tails that the majority of manufactures are switching to a 1 year warrenty period. I forget where I heard it and can't back it up, but its one of those things that stuck. But I have yet to see dust cause a problem with a EIDE drive. If the machine seems slow and unstable, check the cpu and chipset coolers and see if they are gumed up. A hot chipset can cause some funkyness. but how about the > memory/motherboard/processor/network card/etc wear and tear [if there > was such a thing] ? > Not that I've seen, with the exception of a cloged chipset cooler, or video card. I had a 64M ati card cook itself from cloged dust, requiring a RMA from ATI. But in every other circumstance the only thing dust has caused me was some instability. Things you can do to help are install filters on the intake fans, and run machines in a conditioned envirment like a data center. But sometimes neither is possible, and a good ol air hose can correct the problem :) Rob ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux

Exit the game and install a wallhack on your box. Now when you watch the demo, you will see it as if he was cheating. You wont be able to have him record the cheats, but if you record him then install the cheats it should become ovious if they are indeed cheating. Just make sure you remove the cheats before connecting to a server again, just in case ;) Also, a good player (like myself :) ) doesnt need a wallhack to shoot people behind objects. Alot of factors like pure luck and sound play a huge part, so make sure. I will shoot boxes commonly camped behind as i aproach and listen for the sound of a hit. That move gets me called a cheater all the time, but it also detects a camper quite often. Usually, they will track the person exactly behind the wall, and thats almost impossible to do exactly with sound. Sound gives you a damn good idea, but noones perfect. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux

Most network cards provide a output to monitor trafic, or at least thats how I've done it in the past. Dont know of a good program to watch it with though, been ahwile since I've used it.

Re: cstrike autoaim pistol cheat?
It is a cheat. There are a few ones that will do it, and they usually include a autoshoot feature so watch for super fast one shot kills (if there stupid enough to use it). Also, they wont fire extra shots, and even the best of us fire one or two extra's before we realize there down. Ive been playing CS for awhile now and average 5-1 to 10-1 without cheating. when i run into these guys they waste me b4 i can even see them. It's not just for a pistol, but thats the most fun way to play when you can see thru walls and never miss. Usually a deeagle is used, but I've seen others. One sure way to know is IF you get a chance to watch, a good pistoler watches,waits, and shows extreeme skill, while these guys usually run like rambo killing entire teams. One of the most common ones IS detected by PB, while the other has a PB patch but, i yet to get a PB SS to autho from it. When in doubt ban there @zz just in case. so you can see what they see: http://www.foolclan.com/members/screenshots/cheat.jpg so you know im not full of it, http://www.foolclan.com/members/screenshots/fun.jpg http://www.foolclan.com/members/screenshots/fun2.jpg Notice how mine are clean?

Re: Newbie Questions
What i did was create a file called runhl, and gave it proper permission to exec. in this file put your "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH ... etc etc" and on hte following line put screen -A -m -d -S hlds ./hlds_run -game cstrike +maxplayers 17 +map de_dust changeing the settings to your own. I put this file in my hlds_l dir. but you can put it anywhere thats easy to find as long as u include the right path. This will start it in a screen session so you can open and close your console as u please. That command would be screen -r hlds , and to close the screen use ctrl+a d as far as the admin mod, the readme files are great, and there website helpful. All doc's you need are included in the install. If you still have trouble try their forums.
