Laggy Server

[tcepseruk]

I am sure this has been answered already but I have search high and low (spent hours on Google)

I have just figured out how to start my own server on Steam for Counter Strike Source. All I want is a server that runs Glassfun (the map) well with the ability to have about 10 people on playing happily.

For my old counter strike i was able to get a server.cfg file that greatly reduced my lag! I have windows XP with SP2. 1.4ghz processor, and 1024mbs of ddr ram.

Based on my specs and requirements can someone please recommend something. Whether it be changing the maxrates etc in the server.cfg or something else.

Thanks for your time, I really hope someone can help me. I cant wait till I get about 8 happy people on my server :cheers:

Whats your internet connection?

Im with AOL. Its 2mb Broadband, if that helps?
THanks for your fast reply

Well a 2mb connection for about 6-8 people sounds fine.

After 6 ppl join you will notice the laggy-ness. So to get 10 ppl + without lag... I wish you luck.

your computer can cause the lag in the server you know not the connection, because of that 1.4ghz cpu you have

Fair enough. I will accept that my computer is not good enough for the task I require, but surely I can help it a LITTLE bit by changing some commands. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks for the help so far.

Ok, Ill admit, I will now be happy with a server that will comfortably fit about 6/7 people on, instead of my origional 10 people. Thank you...
