Interesting how long this thread has continued without any mention of routers.

Edit: OK, so they were mentioned. Apologies to all.
What I kinda meant to say is: why hasn't anyone recommended getting a router? He says a direct connection has lower pings, so a router is a good option here.

Well, if you are using a router, Open the 27015 Port, and do that in your firewall too...And how fast is ur internet connection?Oh and, lowering your graphical settings would provide a better Speed/ping

200-300 ping in an FPS game like CS is absolutley terrible, almost unplayable i'd say, 20-50 is ok, no higher for these sort of games tbh

Check CS options that you have the right rate set aswell, i dont know much about CS but if it was a Q3 engine game i'd know what commands to check

um i realised the problem. the host computer (one im connected to) had loads of spyware causin slow internet connection. but its all fixed now and my ping is fine

thanx for all your posts though

Strange how none of us thought of that. It was kinda staring us in the face, after all.
