High Choke/Fluctuating Tick Rate

[Gangle]

Hi guys,

This is my first css server that I am setting up, I used the server edition of Ubuntu as my distro.

System specs:
80gb 10k HD
4gb ram
2x 3.02 XEON processors
Gigabyte ethernet card


It was doing the same stuff with both the Windows and Fedora install that I tried, I am starting to think it is either an internet/firewall problem or server.cfg problem. When I connect to the server if I don't move I get 100 Tick and 0 or 1 choke but the moment I start moving I have around 50 choke and the tickrate starts fluctuating drastically. I am trying to setup a 100 tick server.

Heres the server.cfg that I am using:

Code:

// Use this file to configure your SOURCE DEDICATED server.
// This config file is executed everytime the server changes levels.

// Change the number to the region you live in!!!
sv_region 3
// Give your server a name here
hostname "Team Deviate 100 Tick"
// Rcon password is used to give your server orders by using console, so think of a good password
rcon_password "********"
// If you want your server to be private, fill in a password and delete the // in front of sv_password

Thanks for any help. I am trying to host the server currently on my home cable connection. I was having the same issues though on a much faster connection through work.
