Hopefully this works. Since 217 I have rarely been able to make it into a Monash Server. I got in once when Endar was "trying something" but then shut the server off as soon as I joined!
It just freezes my NS2 and the only way to get out is to ctrl alt delete and end program. Will update when I try next.

Anyone who has had an issue connecting to Monash servers in the past, it is now working.
The cause was the cisco VPN client, which used to be installed on the server. By default it drops all network connections MTU to 1300, not just the virtual adaptor. The software was installed so long ago that I completely forgot about it, it has now been set back to 1500, and i've had various reports from 5+ people that its now working.
Just had a guy who immediately joined the server after the change, makes me wonder how long he sat there hitting join.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

That's really strange, it sounds different to the problem that others have been having. Works fine on all other servers? Add me on steam and i'll see what I can do.
I just played a few games on 2 different Monash servers and thought it was fixed. I then just tried to join another one but got the same problem. I have never had this problem on the Ohnoes server.
Would it be possible to get the <a href="http://www.ns2stats.org" target="_blank">stat</a> plugin on the monash servers? I think it would be interesting to see how we Australians affect the statistics.
<!--coloro:pink--><span style="color:pink"><!--/coloro-->Yeah, servers #1 and then #3 froze up mid-game today. They still show having 15 and 10 players on them (numbers at time of freeze) but you can't seem to establish a connection. Quick, what was the ritual to summon endar?

More updates:
The hard drive seems to have serious issues, i'm going to try and have it fixed over the weekend, earliest it will be back online is Monday, but I seriously doubt it will be that early.

I gotta admit I like the servers but the client side crashing was infuriating.
Played on the weekend, seemed all good to me?
Seems abit high.
I know that, which is why im asking, 120-130ms from Brisbane is ridiculous. I get 100ms to WA servers in css and tf2 and bf3!
Just for reference these are pings i get from other game servers in other states. So im under the impression 120-130 ms is too high.
15-30 ms to QLD
50ms to NSW
70ms to VIC
80ms to SA
100ms to WA
At one point i think all or 3 of them were maxed out :)
Keeps coming up as disconnected from server?

It seem like everyone disappeared after Monash server went offline!
