Just trying to help.. and the ryan is a typo on the mail server, I'm too lazy to fix. -----Original Message----- From: HoundDawg [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, October 23, 2001 3:27 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [hlds] WON Fixed Yet? LOL, Ryan and Bryan, thanks for trying to help me. But, neither of those are issues. Well, the closest possiblity would be the cached DNS, but that gets blown during the service restart which I did do. I can ping the WON servers fine. DNS and IP methods. The server will go up and run with usually no problem there. The problem starts after the first person joins the server. Some, have mentioned that it could possibly be some buffer queue that will end up getting filled up and not cleared out. I restarted my whole server and the 1 TFC server is back online. I'll see how well it works and how long. =\ FYI, I've ran other versions of HLDS on the same exact server with the same exact configs and everything for about 2 years now. These problems just started about 3 weeks after installing the 4108 patch. =\ HoundDawg http://www.phpGamingSite.com http://www.unitedadmins.com http://www.unitedadmins.com/hlbp ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ryan McCullough" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, October 23, 2001 12:01 PM Subject: RE: [hlds] WON Fixed Yet? > someone give him the new ip addys.
