[Resolved] High Ping for Clients

[Karsus]

BASIC INFO
Server OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300, 4 CPUs ~2.5GHz
Ram: 6 GB
Game(s): Team Fortress 2
Start Up Command: c:\HLserver\orangebox\srcds.exe -console -game tf -hostport 27015 +maxplayers 24 +map tc_hydro
Admin Mods: Metamod and Sourcemod

The port is properly forwarded through the router, and I am able to host srcds servers for l4d on this machine while playing l4d without clients experiencing high ping. What happens is at seemingly random moments in gameplay for tf2, every client experiences a massive ping spike. Is there something that can be done to fix this? I'll attach the config, it was copied off a blog post somewhere.

This was run with the server running, not sure if that makes a difference.

No that's fine. The biggest factor causing high pings is lack of bandwidth.

have you tried to make a traceroute?

The problem has been solved. It was caused by other servers running on the same machine. When I only run one, it works perfectly fine.
