Did we discuss your setup on this list before? Or was that someone else?
There is no reason why your packet traffic to your server from your client should need to traverse your provider's network, period. Please let me help you optimize your personal network. First, tell me what your exact network configuration is on the inside of the cable modem. I.e. do you have a router? 2 NICs in the server or 1? Are you NATing? What OS is on the server? With a few minor easy changes, I'll have your client connecting to the external IP of the HLDS server and you be in ping heaven again.
