Well after i set the Internet setting to ISDN from T1/LAN, and joined our CSS server, i realized that my 'rate' had been reset down to 5000, and i got choke like crazy. I reset rate to 20000, and it stayed there after multiple exits/joins from the server, and game was playin great as usual. So it seems that changing the Steam-->Internet setting changes your rate, but one-time-only (per setting change) which is good, it doesn't force it to a value permanantly, or cap it. None of my other network settings in CSS (i.e. updaterate, cmdrate etc.) were affected by changing the Internet setting, only Rate.
Good call on that one Alfred. My main server list is showing pings correctly now. Some clarification on that Steam-->Internet dialog box, for the general public, would definately help a lot of people out. ----- Original Message ----- From: "[DinoBot]Sidmind" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, May 24, 2005 8:41 PM Subject: RE: [hlds] Server Listings > WOW ALfred, Good Informationb, I didn't know this, > and I consider myself Very Technical ( 8 years as sys > admin) > People always come to me for CS troublshooting, and > the first thing I tell them is to set there "internet > speed" to LAN/T1 and reset there rates to default. > because most everyone has DSL or CABLE that is > generally above 1.5mb.. > > Now from what you have just stated, it is apparent > that I am telling people incorectly.
