Are you playing in your own dedicated server? Do you run the server and play on it at the same PC?
If you do that it will cause lag, also very depending on what internet connection you have and the specifications of your PC.
How many players do you host for?

For Virus scanners you can switch them off while playing (remember to switch them back after though ) Only Programmes you really need running when the server is being used or you are playing is the Firewall. That should cut down a bit on getting lag.

Yes i play in my own server, on the same computer, but i know that is causing lags. But also when i dont play there are some lags, even if i'm doing nothing on the computer. Usually my maxplayers = 8 (knox2 and casino, etc.), but in romania and office i do 10 as maxplayers. I will shut down my virusscanner.... and i think my internet connection = 56kbs (i dont know for sure)

Your upload (depending on type of connection and provider) in combination with spec's of your PC is maybe enough for max 6-8 players on your server. You playing in it or extra software running causes immediate extra lag.

The 300/400 PDW90 ammo limit depends on what version of Nightfire you have. The 1.0 European version has 400 and the US 300. The Nightfire 1.1 patch changes that for US versions to 400.
