Ongoing monitoring of the recent network issues (lag, slow forums etc) has allowed our hosts to identify the cause of the problems and they will be switching the main internet feed for us either tonight or tomorrow night.
The switch will mean there will be a short outage, probably without us being able to give much, if any, warning so do not be surprised if things die suddenly, normal service will be resumed asap.
Please bear with us as the outage should lead to better connections to the servers.
Thanks to 'Detective BlueBall' for progressing this on behalf of us all. Much appreciated.
Good news. My ping to the L4D server yesterday was horrendus. 100+ :blink:
I am usually pinging it at 10-14ms. Wierd. :g:

Yes it is. I usually have between 25-40.
I usually ping it at 30-34 but last few days ive had a ping around 100-115 when joining Boomer/MH and L4D servers..
Glad to see your on top of it chaps :) keep up the good work
Has the network now been switched over? I also have gotten interleaving removed from my line and my pings have halved!!! I have gone from getting 90 - 110 on any of the server to getting 35 - 60!! So hopefully i will be able to shoot things other than Lib!! who I only seem to shoot when he is on my team. :doh:

Pings do seem better today. Fingers crossed.
my pings seem fine too :)
Since the switch mine have doubled. Were around 15ms now currently 30ms at a push on Boomer. Pings to Meatlocker and Coldstore also high around 45ms~50ms.
Getting packet loss only on last hop to deadmen.co.uk

It was on Whiteys internet page but it looks like he has changed it I think - either that or BT has done another of their classic faux pas
I was going to ask about the fast downloads it is taking ages to get a map download. Can anyone point me to a map list and downloads for the css server?
Thanks
Magnus

I'm looking into it.
Me and BB had a problem with a map a week ago aswell.
Had to wait untill the map is over.
Suggestion if you can't connect; Ask an admin if they want to change the map.

Which is fine for us, however I look forward to fast download being fixed for those we are trying to encourage onto our servers.

It has been working for over 2 years and no one has commented on that fact ... a few days outage the comments come ... :rolleyes:
BB, the files are still on my domain if you temporarily want to link to that one again?
I'll have a look at it over the weekend once I've managed to get this VMS installation finished at work :wacko:
NIC2 now forced to 100Mb/FD as opposed to auto to see if that fixes prob. If not we will go for driver update.

Cheers Mats, we'll see if forcing 100FD or the driver update solves it. If not I'll set it back to your domain - I'll let you know if I need to do it. :)

What time did you do that Mike? And is nKP on that NIC?
Really having some problem tonight playing on the servers so i have posted a couple of tracerts. The problem for today and yesterday seems as though I am getting packet lost to the last hop and to number 6 which keeps spiking on nic1. Any idea whats up?
From what i can see the route to nic2 is more stable.
By this certain hops on the way to nic1 are flaky in the middle for me at least i know this as i have been using ping plot for a few samples and every 5-10 seconds it spikes to over 300-400ms and comes back down again between 6-8 in and in the same named ones for deadmen.co.uk
Thanks for your help chaps.

Did it at 834pm. It is not the gaming NIC, all games on BA4 go through NIC1 (x.x.x.45 whereas NIC2 is x.x.x.49)

I'll mind my own business then. :) I only asked because a couple of guys were on the nKP server and got discoed at the same time this afternoon. One of those things then.
Loaning this thread, I think everyone noticed that the forums have been down twice today ?
The forums weren't down. there have been network outages in London, I couldn't trace to our hosts.
