but they ask that port to be forwarded? what i think is going on, is your using the router, and software firewalls, maybe XP's if so, go to the XP firewall settings and also enable your port for tcp/ip. if your using stuff like blackice, tinypersonal fire wall, or some 3rd party firewall, do the same, otherwise, that's silly. MOST GAMERS have routers, i'd say about 99% that i know have a router.. the other 1% have their own slackware routers.

apparently THIS router isn't helping your situation, i think i understood u to say your using a g and a b router inline, maybe one is backwards compatible???? if not, get NIC's that are g/b compatible.. otherwise, it sounds to me as if that router needs returned, and replaced. if it's the SOFTWARE, then search for known bugs, otherwise, your SOL.... wow, everyone is so damn touchy

wow overlooking things can make u feel like a stoner.

that power level on the screen shot is sick way out of line!!!! I have a MOtorola Surfboard (SB) 5120 and would not trade it for anything in the world!. Way easy. I have a 6/1 line, i get 6.3/.75 consistently, upload will never be at 1mbps. the motorola has a great feature, (screen shot above) for diagnostics, one problem with ISP's is it finding a TIME STAMP.. this can be fixed via help from a knowledgable tech from your ISP helpdesk, i would suggest asking for a supervisor, or tier2 tech, or a "product specialist", whichever terminology your isp uses. Frequency 591000000 Hz Signal to Noise Ratio 29 dB QAM 256 Network Access Control Object ON Power Level 2 dBmV The Downstream Power Level reading is a snapshot taken at the time this page was requested. Please Reload/Refresh this Page for a new reading Upstream Value Channel ID 4 Frequency 30992000 Hz Ranging Service ID 68 Symbol Rate 3.200 Msym/s Power Level 38 dBmV as u can see, i have much diff power settings, i do however have a diff ISP im sure, and a diff speed package, which im SURE this makes a big diff. IF you have to buy your own modem ??????... get a motorola sb5120, u won't be disappointed.

too bad u chucked the game over a crap router!!!! i woulda reset to factory, set for DHCP, then allowed the network to find itself. I MAYBE Woulda replaced the NIC's if it didn't work then. BUT, most routers today are "plug n play" for REAL. If u think bout getting your game going again, post, i'll lend u some router help. I prefer linksys.

^^^ ty very much, i feel like a freak thirsting for more.

Hope everyone had a great and SAFE Independence Day. I took a test this morning, I haven't been online in like a week. still consistent. :::..

^^ u never mentioned USB adapters, and the such... there in lies your issue, hardware not meant for networking. get the real deal then come back.

-TM.NET- Counter Strike 1.6 team, LOL #team test my dot net. me so far.. dunno if any of you play old cs 1.6 but lets get a group of us that do, together, playing, in touch like a clan almost, and have test my.net scrims. LOL! PM me and i'll get in touch with you. Post here in the thread if interested, i'll post back tomorrow and give some Server info, etc.

yeah i guess hes right ^^^ if you cant afford a dual wan router, then the headache of that setup with wingate is worth it.

yeah so your getting packet loss as more users of your network node sign on (peek hours). other then replacing network devices, there isn't much to fix that.

interestingly enough, active desktop, and a startup full in msconfig, can slow u down too.. disable active desktop, and go into msconfig, and disable everything out of your startup that you can.

^^^ and that's probably WAY more then this person wants to do, wingate is chattery and not reliable, get a dual wan router, you'll love yourself more, and it's easier on your mental health.

so if you force full duplex, and it duplex locks, then you'll definitely fix it, coz you'll have to get new ones!!!!!

u need a dual Wan router for sure, u r not gonna be able to bridge that due to mac address issues. tbaker, that oddly reminds me of howard the duck, your avatar...

My first question to you is what is your speeds SUPPOSED to be, that sounds VERY low for cable internet. I can't give you any suggestions until i know your proposed speed, because, if your speeds supposed to be 768 down by 128 up, then your right on the money, if it's supposed to be a 4Mb/s line, i'd be calling a tech support supervisor and considering the fact there may be engineering issues. Get back with that info, and read that link other person left, then if u have m0ore questions feel free to post again, but at least give us your proposed line speed, and your network/router description, (dont risk your security).

EvilDevil thats remarkable!!! let's see your upload??? I ran me one today, im getting some better speeds down, im not happy with my upload, i want more, but i've got to wait for the new teir to rollout, im already a gold subscriber. :::..

This connections download is ALL over the requirements, its the UPLOAD, i need another entire Megabit of upload in order to serve out a game the way i truly need too. Considering EACH player would consume about 12kB/s and usually more in upload.

My sister, she works for Customer SUpport and Sales, for comcast at the asheville HQ... the rumors aren't TOTALLY rumors, it's just when and where will upgrade and how it will be rolled out, and when, SO FAR, the best inside rumor i have heard, is September, and it will be 14000/2024, no new hardware, a simple bootfile sent to the modem, modem reset, and wallah your on a 14mb line. Craziness. I am still totally happy with my 6mb line from comcast, but, with the next tier!!!! i need that upload for shizzy meh nizzy

man, give me a po box, i'll send u XP with sp2, goodness gracious, REFORMAT!

eh, im thinking winxp iso's aren't hard to come by. just coz it dell don't mean u have to use the OEM CD that u get.

I FIND it WAYYYY easier to do this for the following programs: AOL, Norton, Black Ice, any p2p, THE ONLY way to get rid of them??? fdisk, reformat, reinstall windows... much less work, and u have an untainted registry

I have a been a faithful Linksys LNETXv400e user, they are compatible with every operating system. I have had them last for more then a decade. They are inexpensive. I have never had one "chatter" nor have i had one duplex lock.

^^ advice, You will have to PURCHASE winMC. the router isn't cheap. it will have support for setting it up. my advice. if u got the dough buy it. it's kind of a gen1, im gonna wait.

d-link puts gnomes in their NIC's, and those few gnomes sole purpose in life, is to chew thru that chip, looks like your gnomes met their Nirvana.
