ROCO*AFZ* Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Randomly our server will set everyone to show having a ping of 999. I haven't found a rhyme nor reason for this. The server also looses it's ability to view webpages or anything internet related. If i close the standalone out, all functions go back to normal.

The server also looses it's ability to view webpages or anything internet related. If i close the standalone out, all functions go back to normal. One of your resources is tapped: CPU or Bandwidth. Easiest way to tell is to see if a computer on the LAN gets a 999 ping or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easiest way to tell is to see if a computer on the LAN gets a 999 ping or not. CPU 50% Bandwidth 768 up (735 when testing) 3mb down (2524 on testing) both tested at DSL reports after closing GRAW Only 16 players in when it when awol Setting in GRAW at 512 on server. We have ran up to 26 in the past and never had this issue until after the last patch. We did however have 2 higher pingers in (one at 200 something and the other around 300 something but didn't recover when they left.) Close Graw and opened it on server. Everything went back to normal. Tested at DSL reports, all speed was where it should be. We ran fine with 16-18 for most the night until this happened. I'm local to the server. I had a 14 for a ping even when everyone went 999. Server is protected by a pix 501 cisco. Only ports open are Graw ports. Network card is on a PCI 3com 905TX as it uses no cpu cycles and has offload capability. I did however note that the card was set to max network performace. Changed it to normal for now. Will test more. Edited November 4, 2006 by ROCOAFZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOTA:X Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Try a show process cpu history and make sure the router's cpus isn't maxed out on something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOTA:X Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 Possibly a traffic spike in your neighborhood. I wonder if we can think of a test where you upload data non stop for an hour on bandwidth prime time to see if it drops below the normal rate. Does it usually happen between about 3pm to 9pm?

BOTA:X Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 checked it... cisco said 20% Was that durring the lag spike? I'm thinking something on the router could be causing issues if its not your ISP. For instance if you have anything in your ACL that does "log" to console, and and that gets triggered, it may cause slow down. See what it says during a 999 spike... but its probably more related to your ISP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaP7oR Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 if you get a time line of when the problem occurs (+/-) you could do a sniffer trace off the Cisco and analyze it to see if the problem is on your end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had shut all the logs down on the router as i know it can slow things down (for each port being forwarded) I tested the internet on the server... could not browse any site... But when i shut Graw down (no reboot of anything) instantly all returned. That is where i'm thinking it's a GRAW issue. At my line speed it should be able to handle the 512 speed setting, there are no mods also on the server. As another note also... on the Server (2003 server R2) i also have had this happen when i had the modem directly connected to the network card (yes i tried the onboard and the pci one and happened on both) Here is a thought ... maybe Grin can answer this. Could it be there is a memory leak if one person is local to the Server getting a 9-15ms ping while the rest are 50 and up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
