Flush entity packet??

[cloudberry]

My dad has a problem with one of the computers in his home network. The main computer has Win XP as OS, and he uses a hub to share the ADSL from this computer to the other two comps. One of these has Win ME, and my brother uses it to play CS alot. Recently, he often get the message "flush entity packet", and then looses connection to server. Anyone know why? And what does this message mean?

Try changing the connection speed from the internet servers screen one setp lower.
I believe the error means you're buffering too many packets to send because they can't be sent fast enough, or trying to retreive too many too fast.

Maybe you should use a switch instead of a Hub, hubs tend to be very dumb things, when data is sent to them, they spit it out in every direction and hopes that somwhere the destined computer finds it. A Swich on the other hand (depending on how much money you wan to spend, an expensive switch [i.e. layer 3 switch] or a standard switch)
A standard Switch will use what's called a MAC address (No, not macintosh ) This adress is unique to your NIC, no one else has it. And the switch will use this to spit the information directly to the machine it's destine for. It might help the packets flow a bit smoother, and tends to rid the network of "flying dutchmen" packets.

Thanx for the tip Swilo, I'll pass it on to dad. He won't buy a switch though, since he just bought the hub =) He's a wee bit pissed that it didn't work as smooth as he thought it would...

Hi I've had this problem before, all you gotta do is while playing cs push the [`] key to bring up console then type fps_modem <enter> it should then say fps_modem '0.0' as default. So you would want to set to: fps_modem 30. This worked for me. And also check this: fps_max <enter> it should say this: fps_max '72.2' as default, change this to: fps_max 30. And it should take care of the problem.

Good luck
