ok, have 2 pcs, on my main pc i have my adsl modem plugged into it, i share my adsl over my network to my second pc where i host a dedicated server. i have a firewall on my main pc, mcafee.... its configured good enough so that i share games/internet with 2nd pc absolutely fine.
now, on the pc i host my server the problem is this: after 30-50 minutes, with 6 full slots that have been full for the duration i stated, it suddenly TIMES PLAYERS out, i mean EVERYONE but me. Now im really frustrated, as this happens everytime, 4 times since i started hosting. it's as if there's a sudden sucking of my bandwidth that does this, although i DONT know this is happening(i have nothing like a log of my bandwidth usage). i have XP on both pc's the 2nd pc (where i host server)has an Athlon xp 1900+512 RAM, my main pc has Athlon xp 2600+1024 RAM. the dedicated server i host has these basic settings: pure/yes, dedicated/internet, punkbuster/no, players/6, rate/4750. now i have a 512kbs D-L/256kbs U-L connection. i have done speed tests, and i average 242kbs upload. so i think for 5 players my maxrate of 4750 is ok? i do NOT allow downloading. I mean, what could course this? any ideas? i really would appreciate your help. i mean, it's a great little server and its like at these split points that it just times everyone out! if you need to know anything else as in INFO, ill send it ASAP, i would like to sort this problem out...thanks guys....i'm new here too, so a big "hello" :oops:
