Client freezing on Dedicated Server

[zLegato 10]

Hey community, I've searched through other threads and haven't quite found anyone else with the same issue.

I'm currently playing around with a dedicated server for ArmA 2. It works fine, people can see it in the master server list and can join too. The problem is when I join into my own server (on the same computer), it will freeze periodically for 15-30 seconds every other minute or so. I'm not quite sure if this is a bandwidth problem or a CPU related problem. My specs are fairly decent.

CPU: Dual Core Athlon x2 @ 3.1 GHz

VC: Radeon 4870 1Gig

RAM: 4Gigs DDR-800

OS: Vista x64 (using latest arma2 dedicated server .exe)

Bandwidth: 2.78Mbps Down

784kbps Up

Now, while running the dedicated server, I average 30-40% load and when I load the ArmA 2 client I go up to 80-100%. I'm not quite sure if it's a CPU issue or a bandwidth issue, or perhaps I just can't run both on one computer. Additionally, it only happens when there's me and someone else on the server, if I'm alone, it appears fine.

(Also, I'm on full DMZ mode so router/firewall isn't a problem)

Thanks so much!
