...with the server silly! played with a few configuration files and cleaned up the few obvious errors i could find. have left it running so please test and let me know what you find. Big thanks to JMAX for filling the server with maps - I will make a monster download as soon as i figure out how. mex, can you try joining a public server and let me know if its your connection or just my server. in particular try 65.39.205.72:27015 as this is usually up and its on my side of the atlantic. please try one local to you as well - maybe its the transatlantic thing that's bad at the moment......

Subject: Re: joined backalley yesterday and it was fine..

joined for a few mins this morning and still getting huge lag? Could it be something to do with the router firewall settings? I don't really know what I'm talking about but could it be something to do with port openings?! Does that make any sense?

Subject: mega lag

Don't know what's up at this end but have huge lag when I try to play online. For some reason Steam doesn't store anything so every time I start it I have to retype the server address in the add server box and every time I log on to montreal it re-downloads the security module (is this normal?) Mega pissed off cos I want to play on Saturday but at this rate there's not a chance.

yes it does download the security module each time, v strange that you have to retype it in each time mine works fine.

Subject: lag normal here - 150 to 170ms

and montreal.globalcs.org works fine for the ad IP address of server struggling to understand where your lag is coming from... port talk all sounds a bit unlikely to my small network brain

is it a wireless or wired network? what are your ping times? there are sites that tell you what your ADSL speed / connection quality is - do a search on google and test the connection other traffice using the connection may slow you down

It's a wired network, seems to have got mega slow though since Alex changed the firewall settings on the router. Could be coincidence. I have to admit I don't know how to check my ping times!

Subject: super slow

i pinged www.google.com from the dos prompt and it came back with 4 packets sent, 3 received 1 dropped 244ms 567ms 1199ms average 670ms I went to pcpitstop.com and tried the upload and download tests but they both timed out! Something is definately not right!
