Ok I know that a linux firewall is the best, but I don't have the time or patience to configure it :(

I used to use Tiny Personal Firewall 2.0 and it was perfect until I switched to XP, then it started blocking file sharing packets even when I tell it not to :rolleyes:

Tried upgrading to TPF 5.5 ...

Naw, software routers are too slow and unstable. I plan on running an 18 ppl CS server over my soon to be 4Mbit DSL.

It takes at least 2ms or more for a packet to go from the modem, to a NIC, through the PCI bus, to the southbridge, then northbridge, finally CPU/ram, then back down to the north ...

...you get 1-2ms ping to it, under ZERO load, and around 10ms under LIGHT load...

Looks like a netgear from the outside, but with a Linksys brand

It has an identity crisis.

Yes, i've already tried that, it just disables acceleration entirely which makes desktop tasks a pain.

The 865 chipsets do have PAT physically built into the chips, and most mobo manufacturers are enabling them through the BIOS, it is identical to 875's PAT except that the chips did not have their PAT circuitry tested, and is branded as GAT or other names so as not to infringe on 875's PAT.

I finally caved in 'n switched to WinXP and after a few hours of tweaking, I'm finally settled in except for the mouse acceleration issue in games... Win2K seems to disable it automatically, but XP does not, and its impossible to play CS now. Using a microsoft wheel mouse optical.

I can disable ...

Don't tell me u're only using ONE stick of ram.....?!?

HongKongPolice

Thanks! i'm guessing that RD is like deltree?

My "Temporary Internet Files" is located under my Temp directory, and for some reason, theres tonz of files there that I can not delete, because there are weird characters in the file name or whatnot. Using Win2K SP4, Fat32 Partition, 4K clusters.

Is there any program that will delete these files ...

HongKongPolice

Just do the same thing on the inside with some copper cleaning solution + a brush, or use ketchep + some salt, believe it or not, that works as well.

HongKongPolice

I don't see how the board could be like this unless maybe theres some bad caps, or a component missing or cut traces.

HongKongPolice

did you try using memtest86 on your ram?
How bout using only 1 CPU?

Try monitoring your voltages very carefully, especially the VTT, it shouldn't flucuate much.

HongKongPolice

I assume you've tried reflashing the bios, and disabling any extra features like raid, USB, etc etc?

HongKongPolice

You can install 2 identical sticks in the 2nd slots, and have the 2 kingmax in the 2 1st slots.

Well, on my own dedicated server, i've seen 2 ppl do it. They said "BRB" and they died, and remained dead until they came back, retaining their scores and team.

HongKongPolice

Can some1 plzzzz tell me how to enter spectator mode while remaining on the team, and without losing your score?

I've seen ppl who enter spectator mode, but they're still on a team, and whenever a new match starts, they remain dead, but when they come back, they keep their scores.

Thx

HongKongPolice

May I ask why u're in such a hurry?

HongKongPolice

I have the dos 3Com utillities and all the NICs are already set for Max network performance.

For some reason, i get slower file transfers with full duplex enabled. About 4MB/s compared to 10MB/s @ half duplex, got any tweaks? :)

Also, my Speedstream 5660 ADSL router gets Ethernet CRC errors and ...

HongKongPolice

Naw its not ram, in task manager says theres still 130Megs free physical ram.

I think CS servers are a lot more CPU/Network intensive cuz of all the bullets flying around, randomizations for each bullet, and for each impact area, etc etc.

I'm using the default Win2K drivers, i've tried using the ...

HongKongPolice

I'm beinning 2 think its a Win2K/CPU problem cuz it only lags during the match, near the end of the match when most ppl are dead, it doesn't lag.

Obviously, theres more data transfer when the match is going on, so that could be a NIC bottleneck...

The box is an Abit BP6 Dual 466@546Mhz, 416MB ...

HongKongPolice

Will a 3Com 905B-TX be under strain if running a 16ppl CS server?

Cuz right now I'm not sure if its the NIC or Windows2K itself that is laggin up my server, when ever theres like 12+ ppl, every1's pings jump 20ms, even LAN users.

HongKongPolice

Argh I can't even get this working. Whenever I bind network load balancing to 1 NIC, it unbinds the other.

HongKongPolice

Well, i need to load balancing cuz its a file server. If I'm transfering stuff @ 100Mbit/s through a nic, it'll lag things up no matter how good the nic is.

I also have these 3Coms lying around and since they're pretty good NICs, why not?

I thought it'll be better to have both NICs using the same ...

Nope, that feature is meant for servers spread over multiple PCs, so that all the PCs will share the load. I need to know how to setup 2 NICs (Assign 1 IP to both ...

HongKongPolice

Yes they're plugged into the same switch

I wanna balance the network load between both NICs, cuz it'll be a file server, CS server, and maybe even webserver all in 1

HongKongPolice

I was told that with Win2K Advanced Server, I am able to set 2 NICs up with the same IP, and have them share the network load, is this true?

I have Win2K AS installed on a dual celery server with 2x 3Com NICs, but I don't know how to get this load balancing thing working.

I think that the ...

You're supposed to check Direct I/O and select Overlapped I/O or neither for the most accurate results....

All ATA100 controllers will work assuming you get the latest firmware.

I installed RedHat8 onto my server, and everything works, but I have NO CLUE where anything I installed is located, or how to run them. I need to get VNC (http://www.realvnc.com) working, and I installed it, but I dunno how to run it.

New IP:
216.58.30.91

I'm using openweb now (really igs.net) and it seems like the pings are crappier... At least to my friends, but there are still quite a few ppl connecting with 30pings

HongKongPolice

Haha look @ the crappy pixel redraw speed, 25ms!!!!!! You'd be barfing after a few minutes of UT2003, lol

I like LCDs 'n all, but not the current gen. Just not good for gaming. In a few yrs, maybe, but for now, CRTs is still king.

New IP is 216.75.184.68

I seem to lose link almost once every 1.5days, looks like my line needs to be fixed.

I live in Scarborough, no1 else seems to complain bout pings cuz 90% of the ppl who play have lower than 70ping, most of em usually have 20-50ping

Which maps are really popular besides iceworld then? there aren't many servers playing scoutzknivez, so i don't think many ppl have that map.

Just wondering, wouldn't the magnets in the fans affect the HDs?? Cuz they're so close together

Why do ppl ONLY like iceworld?!? Whenever its iceworld, my server is full, but then once it changes to aztec or dust2, every1 leaves! Even worse is that 90% of the players are n00bs.... argh
