Doesn't seem to affect performance for me, but getting the latest drivers for my network card made a **HUGE** difference. Cheers Scott
I thought my P3 550, 32M RAM, with ADSL would be sufficient to host DTR, but the 7 or 8 participants were complaining about lag and they quickly departed - their pings were mid to upper 100s, some 200s. I will experiment more, but I wanted to ask the masses: 1. What machine and conn do you host with? 2. Which games, and how many participants? BTW, I used EndItAll to kill nearly everything. (What is wmexe: "NVRAM manager"?) All I had running was Systray, Explorer, and Rnaapp. Had ZoneAlarm going for a while, but killed it too. Around 80% free resources. thanks -- Doug Appleyard "Got us a Dirt Track Date, demolition derby figure 8" -- Southern Culture On The Skids Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
