jeet Posted August 9, 2005 CID Share Posted August 9, 2005 Ok I used to have Charter communications 3mg down line and when ever I routed threw my router my ping when from 80-100avg to 130+ on good days and about 180avg on a full week. Well I thought it was router and I unplugged it and just when with my modem directly connected to my PC. So now when I have verizon and I have there modem+router I play games and I get the same lag. So I was wondering could it be my intergated network card? I am borrowing my friends soon and testing that network card and see if I get lagged again. But since I am not really a tech person in Network and DSL. So any help and suggestions would help me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dn0 Posted August 9, 2005 CID Share Posted August 9, 2005 Very possibly could be the card, have you tried a different Ethernet cable? Those cables are often the source of trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resijs Posted August 10, 2005 CID Share Posted August 10, 2005 Charter sounds like cable actually, and that gets very hectic, as long as it doesn't reach around 500, you should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeet Posted August 12, 2005 Author CID Share Posted August 12, 2005 Well I no longer have charter...wasnt fast enough and they were charging more. But yea will try a new ethernet cable and my friend is giving me one of his extra cards. If all else fails I might just give wireless a try.

VznPro Posted September 28, 2005 CID Share Posted September 28, 2005 Try doing a tracert to the game server you're logging into. The first hop or two should be sub-10ms ... if its not then youve isolated the problem to bad NIC/cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
