Check your rate
Check cl_cmdrate and cl_cmdupdaterate?
Check any of the cl_ variables that have rate in them :)
Make sure your fps is at a good level

Install b1 -> b3 -> b4. The b4 installer may be totally borked. Also 2000 ping usually means you can't talk to a server at all, that's just where the ping maxes out. Anything in your firewall/router config that would be blocking it? Got zone alarm installed, for example?

eh that wouldn't make sense for my router to be blocking when I can play any other HL mod and not NS..  very very weird, i'm going to try and find a copy of B3 and install them all again.

Check for software firewalls. Each HL mod has to be configured individually for zone alarm for some odd reason. Not sure if you're running anything like that or not. ZA or the built in winxp firewall or even (UGH) norton internet security...
