Major LAG problem with my NETWORK (I need help bad)
Okay here's the deal, I have 2 computers (p3 900 dlink network card) and the pc you see in my sig with a dlink network card (both computers running WIN XP pro). I am using the D-link DI-604 router and I follwed the manual step by step to the letter to set up the network. Previously I had an SMC router which is a little less than this router, and it was giving me the same problem that xp is giving me. The original problem I thought with the SMC router was that it was blocking the ports I wanted to use so both computers can Play HL:CS (half-life counter-strike). Everytime one computer played a game like HL:CS or UT2k3, it was okay. But the second another person connected to a CS server (any cs server) while another person was already playing your pings would both spike up from like 30 to about 2000-4000 making the game unplayable. That is the problem I thought was caused by the SMC router, so I exchanged the SMC router for the D-Link DI-604 router. I thought this would fix the problem, but it didn't I still have the same problem especially when trying to play CS. I've try'ed installing the latest firmware, reseting the router, restarting it, all the way to reinstalling the router several times. It's the same problem, playing games on battle.net is okay, eg when both computers connect they can play warcraft, starcraft, and diablo 2 together fine, but when it comes to CS or games like CS where you have to connect to a server, it just lags like a bitch, please comment I'm sure i'm not the only one having this problem/ have had this problem. Also I know its not the fact that my DSL doesn't have enough bandwidth as cable because we can't even play a LAN game of CS without lagging. I have a feeling it has something to do with Windows XP a little but I have nothing to base that on.
( ITS definatly not bandwidth because i cant even lan game without lag )
