Just a shot in the dark but have you tried disabling XP's firewall

 

[max]

are you using a network card ?

if so
In XP , go , Start / My Computer / Choose My Network Places / Choose View Net Connections / Right Click your Local Area Connection and Choose Properties / Then Choose the Configure Button by your NIC (Network Interface Card) brand name (driver). The settings you see will very for the NIC your using. Im using an Intel 21140 Baised NIC.

Increased the send and receive buffers and turn nic of auto sense (connection type) plus some others. My settings follows:

Burst Length : 16 DWORDS
Connection Type : 100BaseTx Full Duplex
Extra Receive Buffers : 32
Extra Receive Packets : 100
Interruption Migration : Disabled
Multiple Memory Read : Enabled
Process Transmit First : Disabled
Reveive Buffers : 64
Store and Foreward : Enabled
Transmit Threshold : 128bytes
Transmit Threshold 100Mbps : 1024bytes
Underrun Max Retries : 4
Underrun Threshold : 20

OR

Check that you have the latest XP drivers for your modem, been to windows Update

then

run this, will fix it up automatically

Got to the properties for your dial up connection click on the networking tab and untick Qos packet scheduler.
It worked for me.

I just found this link though try this www.xp-erience.org/
I was told to do the above at planet half life it does seem to work for me

arrrr!!!

thanks for all the help guys but its still doing it, none of this has worked so far :\ i tried on software mode and i got into a server but only for a matter of seconds, with a huge ping too 🙂
also one other thing, i dont actually have something called gpedit.msc which one of those articles says to go to..

oooh errr

how odd.. my story starts about a day ago

enquiring about dual booting my pc, now, knowing bugger all about it, i asked a m8 and he said get partition magic.. so i did.. and it fux0red my pc, upon recovery of the pc back to factory settings i went about my schedule of putting all the stuff back on, loosing my last level max payne save game and a lot of music.. but upon installing cs i dunno why i did, i just installed it for fuure, then out of the blue i thought, hey il try it, so i loaded cs, clicked join game and typed an ip.. it responded first time.. i was like WTF and i clicked join very cautiously, and to my suprise, it connected.. in opengl mode.. a bit high ping.. but it connected and i could play, i was shocked.. i didnt install any updates for windows or gfx cards or modems or camels or nothing, and it worked!!
no solution except xp is a tempermental bugger 😛
ps look over there
