Random Disconnects

I'm apparently timing out from the server...?? I'm playing fine then all of a sudden my screen freezes, and I can't see a thing. Dunno what is up with that. Porter, since we were working with port triggers the other day, and since I did get this new router...did I recall you mentioning a rule needed for CS?? maybe I'm just going crazy.

I've seen it happen a few times and I'm pretty sure it happened to both Alk and Deuce the other night. They thought I kicked them

No, you shouldn't need a rule. CS only uses very specific ports, and all the connections are initiated by YOUR computer, which is inside the firewall. That means that the firewall will be expecting responses on the ports your computer has already used (and thus authorized). The EverQuest thing is seriously messed up though. You should post about that here-- somebody else who plays might have a suggestion.

what really creeps me out is that they are starting to look like similar problems. I'm wondering if there is a connection. I've also wondered if my sister added another phone in her room, that would kill my net with the added voltage drop 
oh, and now that I'm a server admin for them, I've tried some of there technical BBS thingy's too, everyone says "they aren't familiar enough with my router to help me." I've since actually e-mailed netgear about it...because I fixed it on Omega's computer using in 5 seconds flat, and now i'm angry that his works, and mine doesn't 
By the way, that still doesn't fix my problem, if ports ISN'T the problem, then why on earth am I randomly getting dropped from the server?? That could be a small issue that keeps random people from joining the server...they try but just get dropped and go to a different one. 
let's face it, i'm doomed.

Actually, it's not just you Tenshi. For no explicable reason whatsoever, CSR dropped 14 out of 20 people last night on deuceball. There were the same error messages in the CS console that everybody was getting all the time six months ago. I would check your console the next time you get dropped. If there's a bunch of stuff like "svc bad message" or something, then it's Steam's fault.

Do a continious ping to the server. If it times out alot, thats your answer. Do a tracert and find if theres a specific router thats causing it. You can even report the problem to the network admin by using www.arin.net
continious ping :
DOS command line - ping -t csr.recongamer.com
Tracert :
DOS command line - tracert csr.recongamer.com
Your problem is a connection drop (aka timeouts). You should be able to locate the problem internal or external to your network with this. If alot of people are seeing this a router close to the server will be the cause.

Just a point of note: Nubbinator's host address will ping or trace to the CSR web server, not the game server. Both are in RG's rackspace though, so the difference is minimal. To ping the game server (or just to connect) use "server.csreloaded.com".
I have the feeling this is internal to the game itself, and Tenshi could run a continuous ping for 3 weeks and not see a spike or lose anywhere. Like I originally posted: if you drop for a completely unexpected reason, and it's sudden (meaning you don't get the red words that say "Connection failure" in the top right corner of your screen while you're playing), then check your console for a bunch of garbage output describing a whole slew of errors. That's where I would put my money.

I had a disturbingly lowbrow joke lined up about the word 'rackspace' but I'll leave it to your imagination...

more importantly, my map had 20 people in it, making it a huge success.
