Map Server Problem

[garycpos]

Hi All,

 

We have taken on a new map server host some 6 weeks ago, and everything was fine until about 2 weeks ago.

 

We play COD4 & COD2 and the issue we are getting is 12kb dl speed which normally means a path issue and we have tried and tried to find the problem without success ?? Our old map server with HTTP address works fine ?? but the new HTTP address with same line setup does not ?? when you try in game to download a new map the http address flashes up .... and then reverts to 12kb a sec , however if you put the http address in the address bar and download a map that way it is 1.5mb a sec and is ultra quick

 

Now I know you brain boxes will know exactly what the issue is :cool:cool so can you help ?? The map server people dont know what is wrong either ?? but they are not use to supplying map servers lol

 

Thanks Guys

Now I have no experience in COD whatsoever, so i am just brainstorming here.

It seems to me it tries to use the http address but finds it to be invalid or just can't find the right path. Once it can't use the http address it'll switch back to DLing from server. Maybe you made a typo?

Thanks Raizo,

 

It was a DNS problem from the server, and after changing the address to the IP address it all worked ?? very strange !! but that's computers !! lol
