I might be nuts.. but i think NS2 is crashing my Internet.

mystline

Because, always when i launch NS2 and try to find servers, i only find like 1-3 servers then it stops finding servers, and when i try to browse websites i get DNS errors for a minute or two then it works again.. what is going on ?

Keep in mind some routers don't deal well with being "flooded" by pinging for updates. This can affect what's seen I believe.

You can lower Max ping refresh rate in Steam's settings, or you can use Steam's server browser.

There are router problems as well with common routers when trying to game wirelessly. A lot of steam games cause a packet overload on the router and it shuts down the source. This is more common if you use a generic IP provided router. Was a problem I had myself a few years ago. Solved it with a Network cable.
