Hosting problems - When I host, my whole net lags

[Apollo]

Hi..

I want to host my own OTServer in my house, but when I do, i have everything working well. All ports are opened, people can connect.

Just one question which is the most important of them all:

Why does my whole wireless connection router lag when my server runs?


I know this because I used to host my own OTServer, and my brother would always get real tibian lag on his comp whenever I'd host it. Whenever i'd close it, he would have no problem at all.

Does anybody know the problem?

Thanks

Xine

OTS just take too many bandwith if there are many players online. OpenTibiaServer team is working on a branch to fix this(the famous "revnetsys"). Meanwhile, there is nothing that you can do.

It isnt the wireless that is lagging

check priority or maybe u just have bad connection?

How players play in your server?

sorry for offtopic:
My server held 30 players
Internet 120kbps download
70kbps upload

It happens with 1 player on.. When do you think this will be fixed with OTServers?

 

[Sn1p3r]

Try making your server Higher prioriti

That depends, if there is too many people on and little upload, the net will lag. Tho you can ask if the person is using tibia client while running the open tibia server which will cause it to consume all the CPU. Which will make the server lag.

Wireless sucks, maybe you are far away and that one connection that consume upload bandwidth are just killing it.

30 players = 15-50 kB/s and you have only 8, I doubt they play lag free or are playable at all.

Mate it's your internet speed, your speed is way to low to host so many players and meanwhile Wireless internet slows it down even more try to use cable internet it should hold more players

Give some Details on your internet speeds+router model etc

You need to enable QOS (Quality Of Service) on your connection or use a application to limit the bandwidth used by the OTServer.

Nightmare, how do I enable the Quality of Service..?

You can use Net Liminter to manage the used bandwidth too.

We have same internet provider, from same town, so they dont need so much, there are no "outer" players

 

[Apollo]

So how can I enable this "Quality of service"? I have Windows Vista..

 

[Apollo]

Sorry double post.. is this NetLimiter illegal?

 

[lolzack]

Change from wireless to cable and get your bro to play at another place xD
