Ok, theres no section that i saw for cs1.6 so i'll post my issue here. I'm not sure whats going on, but whenever I am in a CAL scrim, my internet connection always hangs and i get disconnected. I have cs1.6 running along with vent for our chat. i'm not sure what happens, but the internet hangs and i have to reboot the pc and the modem. i called verizon today (we have dsl) and they tried to blame it on the server, however nobody else in the clan is having the problem.

any ideas?

Have you done a tracert to the server from your house? that will show you where the bad hop is.

You can use HLSW or a Command Prompt.

does it only happen in scrims, or in pubs also? does it hang immediatley, or does it run for 30 min then hang? i dont quite undersatnd why you reboot your computer. i guess system specs are also in order. i am no expert, i just like to post crap and pretend to be smart, so....good luck

well, its only when we scrim, but we usually scrim in our server, which is also our pub (we're in the process of getting a dedicated scrim) i can play just fine while playing pub, but whenever its cal config enabled things go bad. and when it hangs, it hangs immediately. i reboot the pc just to be safe because the first time it happened, it took forever to get back online after just resetting the modem.

specs are as follows:
1.8ghz athlon xp
768mb ram
200gb total (80 and 120)
radeon x700pro agp 256mb
verizon dsl 3.0mbps down

@ craig, can you tell me how to do tracert in hlsw?
