my buddy has a wireless modem and also has a wireless linksys router hooked up to that.  Iam unable to get any connection to a ps2 or 360.  I have called TDS but they say it should work and also called linksys they also say it should work.  Has anyone else had a similar problem with their DSL and a gaming system?  Ive tried giving it a perm IP but that doesnt work either. 

Is one faster than the other.

from my knowledge, ethernet is faster

and...how am i supposed to do that?!?!?! lol  its a ps2 online gm

im tryin to run some tracerts while playin the game...

u may get a laugh out of these b/c i dont see any loss...guess it could be just the server that the game runs on

PS2 and XBOX....cable 3000/256 advertised..

Trace complete.

well i moved the router and modem upstairs next to my PS2 and Xbox so they are both wired, while my 3 computers  all have wireless cards...If anything, i will get that new wireless gaming router that i kinda heard about....

BEFW11S4

ohh yea i do...Linksys wireless w/firmwire: ver.1.50.14 

I play alot of SOCOM and Xbox Live and can lagggg like a mofo even with a 3.1 mbps.  Is there anyway to tweak a setting or 2 in order to get a higher speed?  What i figured is that all the tweaks i make on this computer, they only affect that connection not the router...Anyone have any info about this?

ok well i guess u cant change the duplex setting on a wireless adapter.

XP

SP1

Comcast-Wireless Router(LInksys)

3000/256

OK got a couple of things i want to take care of in one post...I read in ur post that to make sure u have 'Full duplex'.  I remember back when, where it was ..but now that i need to find it, i cant..so give me the place where its located! lol...

Another thing my connection has changed in the past couple months.  But as i was lookin at other peoples speeds mine are pretty decent. 

2004-01-29 13:44:21 EST: 3350 / 269

Your download speed : 3350878 bps, or 3350 Kbps.

A 409 KB/sec transfer rate.

Your upload speed : 269541 bps, or 269 Kbps.

Seems like broadband .. above the 1mbit barrier!

My test i ran tonite---

:::.. Download Stats ..:::

Connection is:: 3170 Kbps about 3.2 Mbps (tested with 2992 KB)

Download Speed is:: 387 KB/s

Tested From:: http://www.testmy.net/

Bottom Line:: 57 times faster than 56K you can download 1MB in 2.65 second(s)

Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/cgi-bin/get.cgi?Test_ID=JBWTXBEVX

Is there any way i can get back to those speeds that i had a couple months ago?  I noticed that i got an upload higher than Comcast shows....My upload sucks compared to the other test.  Im averaging around 239 compared to 269...Thanks in advance for your time!
