First CS:S and now HL2DM!! Major ping problems!

[brisck1]

I've posted about a similar problem in the CS:S forums which never got replied to but I was too bothered back then, but now Deathmatch is here Im having exactly the same problem as before and its drinving me mad!!

Basically Normal HL mods run fine in multiplayer, but source ones give me an unbelievable high ping on my 1.5mb connection. whenever I join a server I simply am stuck in lag mode and cant move or do anything and when I look at my ping it is usually between 400-800 even though I get lower than 40 usually (TFC/normal CS:S).

I looked at the console whilst playing and noticed this messege repeated continuously whenever I tried to move-
"WSAEADDRNOTAVAIL: (then an ip number)"

Please help me figure this out as its driving me mad!

Cheers.

You must have some kind of network problem. I only have a 750k connection and I've just been playing with a ping of 20-35 for the last hour. It's best to wait a few mins untill a slot on one of the faster servers opens up, rather than just join the first on with a free slot.
Sorry I can't offer any better advice, but I know sod all about networking.

I've tried that, like I said, this has been happeneing since CS:S and HL2 was installed. If it is a network problem then I cant understand why Every other multiplayr game works..?

This means winsock can't bind a socket. You have a network problem (firewall?)
