Hello,

  I am trying to run a new half life server on NetBSD, but I am 
having the following problem (this is 1.5.2, with the latest suse_linux
packages installed). I have run a half-life server on this box before
and haven't changed anything significantly--just the new version of
the game.

Whenever I start hlds_run, I get the following message:

WARNING: UDP_OpenSocket: port 27015 setsockopt IP_MULTICAST_LOOP: Invalid argument

and though I can connect (from close proximity fine (large LAN
basically), ppl who try to connect from farther away get ridiculously
high latency (> 1s) in the game--pings back and forth are generally 30ms

any ideas or advice?

Many Thanks!
Jonathan
