Hi,
Lately I've been having an unusual problem, that occured after my ISP (Euphony ADSL) got a network upgrade.
I can no longer play online games in a stable fashion; after a short while (ranging from 10 seconds to 1 hour) the connection to the game server times out, even though my other internet applications (IRC, MSN or downloads) have no problem whatsoever continueing their bussiness.
I have heared about people forwarding ports on their router for CS; but I never semt to need it. Now I'm wondering maybe I do - this unstable condition is enduring for 2 weeks now. I am routed by a SMC7204BRA barricade router, and it hadn't given me any problems for an entire year. I checked all manuals i found but couldn't find any reference to the problem I'm experiencing.
My ISP claims their network upgrade is complete and any instability should not be caused by them. But then again, my ISP tends to flower things up.
I play Counter-Strike on a competitive level and this unstable condition is basicly keeping me 100% inactive. I'm fairly desperate so I'd be more than happy with any help any of you could offer.
Thanks in advance,
crOss
