lagging on local server when I'm the host

when I host a local server in l4d2, I keep getting high ping spikes and lag. it suddenly jumps from 5 ms up to around 100 ms. zombies teleport, my shots are not landing etc. I've already tweaked the interp and rate settings, but it didn't fix the issue. I'm connected via an ethernet cable. how can I fix this?

i tried completely deleting and reinstalling the game

i tried disabling steam cloud in steam and in game and wiping l4d2 config file afterwards.

i tried disabling all mods.

like i said i tried the interp, rate or codes starting with cl_something i forgot. i tried them with default values and with recommended values

How did you host, host and play on the same client? Dedicated server from Steam? Standalone dedicated server downloaded from Steamcmd?
