Stephen from networking sent me that on 10/28/2005. So it should of been working somewhat correctly since then – atleast for me it has been.
Also, sweet, your ping may be jumpy based on the servers you play on, not our school network. I played today and my ping was completely constant, as was in the other games I played. You can try cg_lagometer 1 and see if it’s server lag or your own lag. And, if you have background programs running that could also be contributing to your problems. Hope this helped some.

ive been playing cod since it came out.. and i know enough about servers to know that no matter where they are, u should not get an 800 ping.. on EVERY server. and i do use the lagometer. every time i lag its due to internet lag, not server lag. You probably go on for five minutes.. see that it works then leave… but im telling you, at times it will spike to 400 still for a few hours. the ping is not always high like u probably think. same with ventrilo, however at the time when cod and ventrilo is spiking high, CS stays low. If the network administrator can see what exactly makes cs run fine all the time, and do the same thing for vent and cod, we would all be happy. (or i would) its not normal when i ping 260 to atlanta servers. hmmm… and i know for a fact its the port numbers the servers run on.. trust me.. if you get your vent port changed to 27015, and connect to a cod server that uses port 27015, u will never spike. that is also the cs standard port, the reason for cs not lagging. if the network administrators can understand that somehow port 27015 runs smoothly through the network and not other ones we would be fixed… but i guess its too complicated. see how port 27015 flows through the network rather than port 28960. to sum it up, it has to do with the ports and allowing certain limited bandwidth to go through the oddball ports such as various vent ports and the cod standard port, 28960. %-6
