Server problem...
 

This is the server specs -
Athlon XP 2200+
512 DDR PC2700
100mb 3Com
Windows 2003 Server

The internet specs -
Cable 3MB download / 1MB Upload.

Now the problem is while people are playing on the server it has these ping spikes. I think my connection and server are good for a home hosted set-up but I am not 100% sure...

Can anyone help me and give me some information please... I also need a little help with the anti-cheat things as I have a lot of cheaters and people who spam on the server ....

I wish to comegetsome: Them mwah:

EDIT: Watch the emoticon spam, dude.

how many ppl are you hosting? how full is the server when the spikes occur?

I would recommend more ram - atleast a gig (obviously depends on how many ppl the server hosts.

curently it has a max of 22people, but there is usually only about 10 or so i nthe server when it starts happening.... but it is only when loading a map, so is it lag or the server ?

Re: Server problem...
 

umm, 3MB Download and 1MB Upload are Cable specs. Thats why you can only host a good 10 people before getting spikes

how come? I thought 1mb Upload was good for running servers, I mean they are not as good as a T1 or T3 but still better then like a 256k connection. My friend can host a 12man server on his 256k cable connection....

could be the area your in, the more people on your street with cable, the slower yours will be.

ohh ok, thanks for all the help and fast responces :)
