I've hosted COD games from my home network with 2 pc's, one running the server and the other I'm gaming on with my friends connecting up to me. I'm curious as to your connection to the internet because you stated you've hosted 32 players with no lag and your system specs aren't that spectacular *(spelling)*. I've tried hosting with Cable (3.0Mbps down 300Kbps up) and it sucked, of course upload speed is what your after in that case and that's why I've switched to my new service of DSL (1.5Mbps down 1.0Mbps up) but I haven't tried hosting on this connection yet. Just some FYI I guess, besides my initial question for ya....*(i.e. your connection speed)* *oh I guess my thoughts on your problem is routing through either your firewall (software and or hardware) and the NAT of your router (if your behind a router). Those are the tricky parts to get right before success and really it's not all that tricky.

I hope your not implying that ethernet is data secure. Maybe in it's use of speed on networks but surely you don't mean data security. Either way the post topic is about speed and yes your correct in that burst of up to 1.5Mbps is avg these days and surely not worth the avg of 300-900Kbps your reading about. My DSL was just ramped up to 1.5Mbps down and 1.0Mbps up and it's only costing me $40/mo. (US). Can't complain too much about that. In fact I switched to this DSL from my Cable which was 3.0Mbps down and only 300Kbps up. Upload is what I'm after and that's why I switched. On that note I have noticed a slight decrease in speed when dl'ing files but as we all know (or should know) your only as good as your "slowest" connection so that's probably why I haven't seen a huge decrease in dl speed. Now if I catch a fat pipe that I dl from then yeah I'll suffer alittle bit but those are the rare cases. I still avg about 150K dl speed which is slightly lower than my cable speed I was getting. WOW how did I just start babbling on about all this...Oh well...it's my $.02 anyways. RoGuEDoGg
