Hello, I have a ADSL connection /256kbs down/128kbs up) i got a router and tried to play both computer in the internet with other players, i get lag sometimes like freezing for a few seconds, this mainly happens when i use both computers, when one computer is completly off things improve, it is my router (SMC 7004VBR) or my connection speed?? I will appreciate any help, router is well configured, i can play lan with no problems, the only problem is that connection seems not well balanced when both computers are on. Thanks for help Thomas Gaspardo --

Try using tracert (trace route) at the command prompt to see where the problem is. I guess you may be getting lots of collisions locally, maybe because of a bad network cable or a power brick right next to the cable or something. Network cables are ime pretty sensitive to outside interference. Malc.

IMO, try it w/o the router and you'll know if its your conn or the router. If it still does it.. could be your network card or a cable as mentioned before. Was it ever decent? Ive had cable modems go bad. different symptoms everytime. "Malc" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:5Ovub.10088$[email hidden]...

It used to be good before putting that router, used to play a lot without problems , im going to check with a traceroute to see what happen, one computer has a built-in ethernet card, realtek brand, can be that?
