Well the router you are using has a firewall embedded in it. It depends how much space the manufacture allows for session management and the speed you have told Steam your line is (higher speeds mean more UDP packets and a larger session buffer). If you are also running servers behind the same unit it will compound the issue and could easily make the problem appear more intermittent.
As for recommendations I can say I have not found any of the low end appliances you buy at Best Buy to work well. The main design criteria of those products are price and web surfing. Try searching the web for "firewall appliance" but be prepared to pay from $250 to $1000 to get a worth while configuration. There are some good ones that run embedded linux. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ooks Server Sent: Wednesday, September 22, 2004 11:22 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Re[2]: [hlds] RE: ServerList Destroyed::::Please take time to read The firewall was off, and this worked yesterday. However, I'm using an old Netgear router, so I'm wondering if the limited nat table in the router can do this intermittently? See my thread on Need a Router Recommendation. What router would you (or others) recommend? _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds
