Post Interwebzor Problem------Please Help
I just moved from Florida to South Dakota. I switched from Comcast internet to this MidContinent company here in the Midwest.

I get decent ping and the connection is fast, but about every 20 minutes or so this message occurs and it boots me out of vent and CZ instantly. Also, when I try to download something for more than like an hour and leave, it says that my download was canceled because the connection to the server was reset...

Have you seen this message before? And if so, is it an Internet issue, or my computer messing up somehow? Any help would be great, because it really interupts any decent playing time with these little spikes.

"net_send packet error"


To fix this problem you need to go to the system.ini file and check the [vcache].
If there is nothing there, add these lines under the word [vcache]:
MinFileCache=****
MaxFileCache=****
It should look like this.

[vcache]
MinFileCache=****
MaxFileCache=****


Replace **** with one of the following values:

If you have from 16-32 MB of RAM:
MinFileCache=2048
MaxFileCache=2048

If you have from 32-96 MB of RAM:
MinFileCache=4096
MaxFileCache=4096

If you have 128 MB of RAM or more:
MinFileCache=8192
MaxFileCache=8192

Another way would be setting the maximum amount of RAM HL/CS is allowed to use.
Right click on your CS shortcut and select "Properties". Right now the Target line should
read something like this:
CS retail version: C:\Sierra\Counter-Strike\cstrike.exe -console
CS mod version: C:\Sierra\Half-Life\hl.exe -game cstrike -console
Change it to this:
CS retail version: C:\Sierra\Counter-Strike\cstrike.exe -console -heapsize *****
CS mod version: C:\Sierra\Half-Life\hl.exe -game cstrike -console -heapsize *****
Replace ***** with 75% of your total memory in KB, ex. you have 128 MB RAM then
heapsize should be 98304. 1 MB = 1024 KB.


Maybe move this to the gaming forum? "CS Net_sendpacket error:"

Well I finally made it to that System folder, and now I can't find anything that says VCache. I would make something that says VCache and put the writing in there, but it is a bunch of sub folders, not like a config or something that I can write in. Any help from this step?
