yeh sorry man... let me explain myself.
Ok well recently I upgraded my CPU, Motherboard, Videocard & PSU (i had a p4 2.8/p4p800se/ati9600sapphire/eagle psu... then upgraded to a AMD 3700 san diego/a8n-sli deluxe/bfg 7800gt/antec 400w - (i sort of blamed the lag on my pc so i upgraded & spent money, but oh well...)
I upgraded because my gaming experience was very bad I enjoy online gaming, I just thought my pc wasn't good enough...
Counter-Strike Source would lock up randomly (couldn't move forward & backwards... could only move my crosshairs... couldnt fire/chat/other people frooze on screen/ & often I would have to re-connect to the server to play properly again.
this didn't happen on every server, mostly on server's that had more than 15 people on it or just random servers?... i got frooze up every 5mins on the servers that didnt like my connection.
Not only that but if i did happen to get a game without any disconnects, when the map changed I was unable to load the next map.
So anyways, I updated my system to a decent gaming rig, once built by myself I still was receiving "bad gameplay", this led me 2 thing's... NTL or LINKSYS - well turns out... it was linksys.
the problem does not lie within ntl, but more to do with your router or network config... or maybe ntl & linksys dont agree, i dont know.
After disabling PPOE & UpNp in the router's settings AND disabling a few window services ("Wireless Zero Configuration & a few others) -
downgraded the firmware to version i mentioned above & walla... no more disconnects & lags, although I do get some lag but rarely! now I know the difference between server lag & My lag.
Hope this will help some people, i know its very frustrating.
