netsend packet error

[Meractik]

anybody know what this error means or what the cause of it can be... when attending lan parties hosted by my friends we get this error while playing games across the lan occasionally and everyone drops from the server. it appears in a windows message box, also i used to get it at home playing counterstrike 1.5 on dailup all the time id play at random intervals. any ideas?

sounds like someone is sending you a bad net send packet.

Disable your messenger service.

i would never have the messenger service enabled. or any internet port accessing programs running at the time.

It's probably a bug in whatever game you're playing or possibly the driver for the server's network card.
