[mohaa] About Ping and PL

[[-SF-]Shockwave]

Hello geno,

Whenever I run into problems like this, I find it's best to go back to basics.  The first thing I would try to identify is whether the high ping and packet loss are actually only present when the game server is running.  Your problem might not be with the game server at all.  For example, I have seen occasions where a server has been acting like this on my LAN, but it was due to a bad network cable.  Try pinging the Linux system without the game server running and see if the problems exist.  You should also ensure that your system isn't running too many other applications, other than the game server, which are utilizing needed system resources and that you aren't dipping into your system's swap file to run the game.  Another thing you might consider is trying to run a different network application on the system and see if it too exhibits these symptoms.  I'll wager that it has something to do with your hardware or your specific system configuration.  As a footnote, I have been successfully running the game server on my system without any problems using the following configuration:

RedHat 7.2 - stock load
PIII-800
384MB PC133 RAM
T3 Internet connection

  Its not a problem of bandwidht because its on 100 Mbit, where Server on NT works perfectly.
  Linux : Red Hat under dual Cpu PIII 700 Mhz. Only 1 server is up, Mohaa.

    Hello geno,

    Without knowing the specifics of the system running the game server, the settings you used for the game server program, and the type of connection you are using, it's difficult to say.  More details would definitely help.  I'm not aware of any Linux server problems like the ones you are having.  In fact, I would go so far as to say that Linux allows the game server to run on more modest hardware platforms with greater reliability than its Windows counterpart.
