Hmm...maybe you should qualify that statement. "Cheap low end crap" home routers can cause this....
Re: My adventures in cheap low end crap home routers from...5 years ago? How many people on this list were there back then (yeah, yeah, I know some of you were)? Back when I was playing with Belkin, dLink, Linksys, Cisco, and Netgear. Some rocket scientist at Netgear decided that the routing table did not need to be > 1024 entries, which is perfect for doing nothing more then browsing the Internet and reading email. Anything else and you start to experience dropped connections, and blocked incoming connections. I was running an opennap server at the time, and everytime I hit ~975 connections, it would stall and no more incoming connections would make it. I replaced it with a lowly WRT54G, and I was able to slam it up to 5000 connections with no problems. Yet the geniuses at Linksys *still* don't think anyone wants static IP assignments. Come to think of it...most home routers *are* "cheap low end crap" routers.... </soapbox> :-) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kevin Ottalini" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list" <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, March 14, 2008 8:07 PM Subject: Re: [hlds] Blacklist > Home routers can cause this if your Steam rate is set too high. > > Try setting the steam > settings > connection speed to something low and > see > if your server counts become more stable. > > You must exit and restart Steam for the speed change to take effect. > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Andrew Armstrong" > To: "'Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list'" > <[email protected]> > Sent: Friday, March 14, 2008 7:32 PM > Subject: Re: [hlds] Blacklist > > >>I repeatedly get different server counts each time I refresh the server >> list. >> >> Without fail. >> >> - Andrew >> >> -----Original Message----- >> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >> [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of "[??R] >> The-/<iller" >> Sent: Saturday, 15 March 2008 11:33 AM >> To: Half-Life dedicated Win32 server mailing list >> Subject: Re: [hlds] Blacklist >> >> I was getting drastically different numbers everytime i refreshed the >> serverlist for about 2 hours seems to be fine now. >> >> Cc2iscooL wrote: >>> I'm pretty sure Valve haven't delisted anyone yet, as the server count >>> on >>> the internet tab from yesterday is about the same as today. >>> >>> On Fri, Mar 14, 2008 at 3:27 PM, "[??R] The-/<iller" >> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >>> wrote: >>> >>> >>>> Now one shows up sometimes on the custom tab, other times when i >>>> refresh >>>> the custom tab im only getting like 10 servers.
