Thanks very much for this, i set up the mailing list to mail me copies of what i post but it never came thru so i wasnt sure it worked.
The server i host is hosted by a third party and i do not have shell access to it at all so this may not be something i can use. And for that same reason if there is a physical network issue (or network config issues) theres not really anything i can do about it. I was thinking about what settings directly to do with the srcds config and plugins etc that could be tweaked to help diagnose the issue.
