yea i know one girl i used to play Outlaws with, she had ISDN 128k in Philaldelphia, but that was a few years ago.
ISDN has been very popular here, 10 years ago, it still is popular in unurban areas where they dont have adsl.
I think adsl is the most common broadband in Europe
sorry this went off topic

win 98 fix is reformat and install xp

Im not sure but i think the test separate each pc by a computer id, even tho you have same ISP IP# , CA3LE can give you a better anwer on this one
I dont think you will see any diff in speed if you wire it, modern wireless routers work very well, but like you said distanse has a big role.

I dont know what those tweak change, use google and search for sp2 issues with internet speed, i have no problem now so i havent checked them out
VanBuren
run this test now http://www.dslreports.com/tweaks
when you get result URL adress, post it here
after that apply the tweak i suggested before, click save to registry and reboot
do this test again http://www.dslreports.com/tweaks
when you get result paste URL here again
then we can see if tweaks are applyed or not

not bad
this is what i get

also dial up has lower latency, a good 56k should have a latency between 100- 200ms on a server in same town.
Sattelite is between 600-1000 ms (atleast thats what ive seen)
most gameengines is not made for pings above 300 ms

yea sp2 dosent help for sure, i noticed sp2 slowed me down alot when i used windows firewall, but with Norton i cant see any diffrense in speed
i belive there is some sp2 tweaks out on the net, havent tryed em cos i have no problems.... yet hehe
VanBuren
i dont think its sp2
open cablenut, click delete cablenut tweaks + save to registry
unzip this file to C:ProgramCablenut
load it from adjuster, dont forget to click save to registry and reboot
this should give you maximal burst

the reason i gave you the link to 12 MB test is, thats its been proved several times that 2992 KB test is not really accurate above 5 Mbps, i PM CA3LE about it lets see whats happen.
my suggestion is that if you score above 5 Mbps on 2992KB test you get auto forward to the 12 MB test

heyas mbrainerd
the ping to your first hop (gateway) is still too high, show this to your ISP and say you want a ping below 30 ms, that should not be impossible even if its interleaved service.
