I'm looking for some advice or suggestions. I'm trying to host a server behind a D-Link Dir-655 router. I've hosted for years behind a BrazilFW router that was simply brilliant. I was hoping that the Dir-655 would be a good energy efficient replacement.
I hosted Day of Defeat 1.3 without any major problems, but last night hosting Natural Selection 3.2 a number of my clients were being disconnected. Unfortunately they didn't write down the error, but I know we were having problems with a reliable channel overflow error that I think is related to font issues stemming from using wide screen format where the server is running a 64 bit os (this is a side issue at this point, I think there are also other problems). I've also noticed that the router will get "flaky" and sometimes have to be rebooted if I engage in high speed downloading. This may or may not be related to the disconnect issues. I don't do this while the server is running, but I'm just wondering if this might be an indication of a configuration issue that might impact the router's performance while I am hosting servers. Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone else has tried to run a server behind a Dir-655, and if so, do they have any suggestions as to settings? Here is a list of settings that I wonder about specifically, but there may be others. The question is specifically should these be enabled or disabled? SPI Anti-spoof checking WAN traffic shaping QoS engine QoS engine - dynamic fragmentation PPTP IPSec RTSP SIP Multicast Streams The server is wired to the router, there may be another computer accessing the net while the server is up, but it won't be doing anything that requires any significant bandwidth. Drek P.S.: If anyone can donate the Ubicom sdk (I think this is what they need) to the developers of DD-WRT so they can add support for this router, I'd be grateful. Last I heard it is only $3000 US... :p _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlds_linux
