I've had a bit of a problem recently playing cs:s. I can play escape I and II fine, but if i try to play any other server (even not one of ours) my internet crashes after a round or two.
This has only been an issue since i moved home at the end of June, so internet provider has changed, as has router.
My pc is pretty powerful, and i run vista.
Can anyone help?

Hmm... That is weird. I will try to find a solution for you.

Check your firewalls and protection on Vista. It sometimes just decides a program isn't good and ends it.
Hmm are you using wirelesss??? If you are then it is probably the packets not sending fast enough so the crash happens. I learned this when I played Sword of the new world.

My house has wireless but I still plug mine in just for a better overall connection

The only thing which has really changed since i moved house is the wireless connection, as its now a different router and isp. I don't see why the internet crashes for any server but escape though

Your wireless might not be able to handle it, are you joining completly full servers or empty ones?
I used to have a gigantic piece of shit router that couldn't handle gaming on full servers + busy Ventrilo and roommates. It would just drop connection.
Maybe time for a new router?

Its my parents router unfortunatly.
But i'm not sure its about how much it can handle. I was just playing escape I with 40 people for over an hour (on laggy maps as well) and i had no issue, but if i try to go play breakfloor my internet crashes after a round

Slower video cards have a hard time with breakfloor because of all the glass in the map. When the round ends all the glass has to be spawn/assemble. When I used to have a nvidia 6200 I would get connection problem for about 10 seconds before I could spawn. Since upgrading to my nvidia 8600gt I spawn without any wait or lag. Maybe?

think i've got nvidia 8800 gtx, so doubt its that. It isn't specifically breakfloor either, i've tried playing a different zombie server with a friend and my internet crashed, when i try play on deathrun or horde it crashes as well...

I have that too I believe, and it must be your connection. Try going onto a smaller server or one thats closer to you.
Check your firewalls, and blocking settings ect.
Check the steam forums for specific, small problems like that though.
You'd be surprised, your bound to find a solution there, in the forum. Post that problem and you'll get loads of hits.
