oh.. and i know my computer specs are kinda poopy but everything use to work absolutely fine 20-40 ping on bf2, and unfortunately 512 mb ram is as far as my crudddy compaq will let me go oh woe is me..

this is the new tests with my cable modem directly connected to my computer :::.. Download Stats ..::: Connection is:: 808 Kbps about 0.8 Mbps (tested with 2992 kB) Download Speed is:: 99 kB/s Tested From:: https://testmy.net/ (server2) Test Time:: Mon Dec 19 15:13:53 EST 2005 Bottom Line:: 14X faster than 56K 1MB download in 10.34 sec Diagnosis: May need help : running at only 27.43 % of your hosts average (rogers.com) :::..

So everythings at obtain ip addresses automatically and turned off all my forwarded ports. and pardon my newbieness.. but what's a DMZ?

i've searched all over the internet through many websites and forums and i can't seem to find a solution to the ridiculous lag that i've been getting in all online games that i've been playing. but this forum seems to have many knowledged people and many others who have similar problems. Please! won't somebody help me. I'm not quite sure what my problem is, browser speeds and file downloads speeds through programs like azureus and bearshare and such are fine. i don't seem to have any real speed problems there. but when i play games like WoW, Battlefield 2 and even halo 2 xbox live i get all kinds of uncontrollable lag. (like 500-1000 ping in battlefield, 1000-5000 ping in WoW and constant red latency in halo) I've tried using cablenut and other optimizing programs but they don't seem to be any help. these problems began to occur after i moved to my new house and started forwarding my router for downloads. i'm open to all suggestions i'm desperate, i'm not that familiar with networking lingo so bare with me. i've provided some of my information let me know if anyone needs anything else. isp provider: rogers cable advertised speed: err.. i'm not sure regular? -using a linksys WRK54G wireless router, hooked up to my computer, my brothers and my xbox -using windows xp System Specs: Compaq Celeron 1400 mHz 512 mb ram 40 GB harddrive ADMtek AN983 10/100 PCI Ethernet Adapter nVidia Geforce 6600gt -pretty sure specs don't really affect internet speed but just incase Just incase someone thinks it's because my computer is too slow to play these games and that's why i lag, it's not the case because i worked fine before at my old home. i'm hoping this isn't some kind of location issue. Any tips and advice someone can give me would be greatly appreciated. :::..
