<div class="IPBDescription">@*(%@#!</div> My NS server has really high pings. When im alone, my ping is 100 - 120 (i ran a neotf server on same machine, and my ping was 60). When 6 people joined, everyone's ping skyrocketed to 300 - 400. No one complained of lag.

The server is running on an OC3 connection, so bandwidth isint a problem.
Here's the CPU/Memory Status:

    Looks like you have a nice machine...Give more details if you can

    The specs you need should be there Caucasian

    ****Try stripping the plugins, and run a bare 1.04 server...with maybe Unstuck Pro because that works fine.

    HalfD isint really a plugin, it runs outside of the server. HalfD has its own port, and starts NS. HalfD is similar to AdminMod, but was created almost a year before adminmod was!

    What map? Hera and bast are known to be intensive on the server. Try a map like ns_eclipse and see how your pings are then.

    On another note, I run a Athlon 1900+ and my server gets up into 80-90% running on hera and bast, I typically see ~50% on ns_eclipse. I run a 12 player server.

    I got a screenshot of everyone's pings. The map is ns_siege005, but the pings are like this on all maps. Here's the strange thing, most people dont complain about lag when i ask them, yet the pings are high.

    One of the things that people don't realize is that the ping on the scoreboard takes into account not only internet latency, but server processing latency as well. If you do a "net_graph 1" you will find out your real ping to the server while playing. Not only that but NS' netcode is some of the most mature out there. You can still play this game really well with 500-600 ping and that, I think, is amazing.
