Some Answers ... Please =(
 

Ok ive been screwing with this for several hours now....... im frusterated to no end.. and i cannot find the answers to the few questions i have though hours of board searching..

1. Why do i have horrid ping when i connect to my own server.

2. Why do i practically instantly go linkdead sometimes..... and other times its perfect for an hour or so on my own server.

3. Why when i try to start my miniclient server do i get 1017 error?
Everything is set up and triple checked.. and none of the solutions fix it posted here.
