Post by: Torque2k7 on June 01, 2004, 03:52:38 PM
As some of you know, I'm now on limited dialup over the summer that 5 ppl have to use for different reasons all at once... <_<  Anyway, when i use steam and get into natural selection i have a ping of 300 or so for a little bit then i get a 3500 ping...and then this error randomly occurs... gg microsoft...  Firewall is off, and computer is spyware and virus free...im hoping its not the isp.... any advice you can give me will be of help. Thanks guys!

I can't recall what this problem is... you might try searching the steam forums at steampowered.com. Surely if you're having a problem, 500 other people have had the same problem before.

Delete the QOS Packet Scheduler, I forgot how to though. I'll edit my post when I remeber. I can however tell you it's a problem between XP, Half-life and dialup modems.

Run eMule all day. It'll suck your bandwidth dry, no one will ever be able to use it until it's turned off. That'll get them to change their internet methods FIRST, leaving you to shut off eMule and play.

Thanks for the help guys.  I'll get right on tracking the solution down....if our power ever comes back on :(

(North texas was hit with a huge storm and a few tornadoes last night)

Heh I'm at a lan party right now, but when i get back to my powerless abode i think i might read a book or do something not technology related.

Oh, and the sentry guns still work though, in case all you looters were getting any ideas  :p

i'm pretty sure it means "connection lost"
me thinkses it says "NO ERROR" because it never got an error message, but noticed an error (no connection maybe) ... hence "we have an error but no clue what it is"
