Try these steps in order (if one doesn't work go to the next step):

1) If you are using wireless try connecting directly to your router.
- If fixed: Somehow losing packets over air.

2) If you are wired directly to the router try connecting directly to the modem.
- If fixed: Your router has a problem.
+ Try switching the port the cable plugs into.
+ Try resetting your router to factory settings.
+ Try upgrading the routers firmware.
+ Try a different router.

3) Try a different cat5 cable.

4) Try a different ethernet card.

5) Try a different modem.

Ok took a while to figure it out: Jumbo frames...
I enabled jumbo frames on my gigabit segment to get higher transfer rates.
Due to I dunno what Fortress (read: HL2) can't handle it proper somehow

I disabled jumbo frames on my firewall and client....
Result: IT'S ALIVE IGOR!!! ALIVE I TELL YOU

Thank you very much for all your support & tips

Good to hear you got it working

Edit: Note that your ISP might not support jumbo frames and that's why you have loss.

awesome. very happy you've got it all figured out.. I had no clue on the matter

We had some nice load on the server earlier on

We're running a 16 slot for test, we might scale up when it is stable.

Tomorrows I'll install the vote stuff etc

what tickrate you running btw? if 33 then change it to 66... FF is just too fast for a 33 tick server.

The tickrate was default (33), I changed it to 66 now

I hope it won't crash like saturday

It was full house and the server crashed.... Most annoying part: there was no *.mdmp file from it.

add -debug to your s t art up command line. otherwise it wont.

Code:

d:\HLServer\srcds.exe -console -game FortressForever +maxplayers 16 +exec server.cfg +map ff_well -debug
