ninjageek Posted May 16, 2013 CID Share Posted May 16, 2013 (edited) OK, I am a online gamer. Yea, it lags from time to time. Now I just saw someone suggest this!! If your using a realtek network adapter, They suggest trying this. Go into advance mode on the card settings, Disable the TCP Check Sum and UPD Check Sum settings. By default they are set to to RX&TX Enabled. They seemed to think it MAY help. . Now I am on Windows 7. SO.......I know they said something about checking ping times to see if disabling these setting help or not. So in windows 7 how do I check the ping times.I am guessing lower ping times, better ping times. Playing Guid wars 2, so maybe I should check my ping times with them??? Yes I have everything written down so I can change it back. Just need to know Should I try it?? Or is it a BAD idea??? Forgot to ask, if I do make changes to the card, Do I need to Reboot the computer every time??? Edited May 16, 2013 by ninjageek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriRan Posted May 17, 2013 CID Share Posted May 17, 2013 Changing those settings shouldn't hurt anything I'm willing to try anything once so I say go for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mudmanc4 Posted May 17, 2013 CID Share Posted May 17, 2013 Checksum offloading has afaik never really worked that great, only on some cards in some instances or certain networks. Let the operating system do the math is much more efficient. Can't wait to hear your results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninjageek Posted May 20, 2013 Author CID Share Posted May 20, 2013 (edited) It just makes NO sense. I try to hook up a second computer to the router, the router fails I get no connection to the net from either computer I disconnect the second computer, reboot modem, net works ok fine. I got a new one from them. They will be back tommorow. My speeds just are just bad. I have rebooted the modem countless times, i scanned the computer, I even rolled back the the drivers, because I did update them. GF just tried to hook up to the wireless with her cell phone and it failed. I just don't understand it.

Solution ninjageek Posted May 22, 2013 Author Solution CID Share Posted May 22, 2013 Finally got my connection fixed. Poor cable guy was here for over 2 hours. He was frustrated. It kept doing everything I said it did. Plug in the other computer, Modem crashes. Then when it does work it was REAL slow. He replaced just about everything. Started from the pole, to the house, to under the house, replaced all of it. Works great now. My game plays fine. No lag. So am I gonna change the settings. NOPE. Its not broke, i am not gonna fix it. CA3LE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudmanc4 Posted May 22, 2013 CID Share Posted May 22, 2013 As with anything at some point there is a 'step back' time , instead of attempting to improve something, work on the issues and plan, instead of chasing.

ninjageek Posted May 24, 2013 Author CID Share Posted May 24, 2013 Guess I just never really thought it was my connection, I mean my speeds were ok fine. But I was sure getting Lag, my Uploads and Downloads sure seemed ok fine. Even Did the ping test. Kinda Glad I gave the Cable Guy a Old AMD quad Core I have had for While and not being used. We were talking Computers, he was gonna overclock his AMD dual core, So I gave him my AMD quad core. He just went crazy. Had to laugh, cause I thought after I gave it to him. No way I will Know how it worked out for him. Then we had to have the connection fixed again, the 2 hour ordeal I spoke of. He said, he feels like he earned the Quad Core, I agreed.
