Re: [hlds_linux] Pausing problem...
Keep me updated. I would like to know if the memory replacement solves the problem. Does anyone else have a clue why this would be happening?

RE: [hlds_linux] "pausing" problem
Ask them to do an extended ping from one of their routers to your NIC - see if there is 'any' loss at all. If so - then there is a network problem - or a NIC problem. However - we've experienced the same thing - and I've ran my tests and all is clear. People on broadband connections that use the LinkSys firewall/routers for DSL/Cable - may want to visit their site and get the latest flash for it - as it fixes a problem with packets arriving out of order and many other bugs - which could be a majority of everyone's problem - depending on popular linksys is to this community. And/or see if Valve knows about this :P Britt -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brian Hashman Sent: Monday, February 02, 2004 10:18 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [hlds_linux] "pausing" problem I've run an ns server since its release, and I've had this problem since the beginning. While playing pings and gameplay are perfectly normal, not really much lag or anything, then at seemingly random times, the server will "pause" for a few seconds then come back and everything is fine like before until the next pause. What I mean by pause is the netgraph will jump up to a solid red line like it has lost connection to the server, then a couple seconds later it comes back and gameplay resumes. I know the problem is not just my because everyone complains about it. The problem has continued after clean installs of hlds, from won to steam, with or without any addons. So obviously the problem has to be with either the server itself, or network equipment. The server is hosted by rackshack (ev1) and we've put in several tickets and they all claim the network is fine. I think maybe it has a bad network card, but I think they supposedly checked that (yeah right). Has anyone seen this problem or have any suggestions where to look in the software or hardware?
