Had the exact same problem as you did. It took me a long time to solve it. I found out that it was the crappy COM21 cable modem. This cable modem is a piece of junk. Call up your cable company whoever you're with and get them to switch cable modems. Tell them that latency is an issue, and that the ...

Hehehe, your welcome. Now all this tech support costs you $1,456.98. So, how would you like us to charge you?

Have fun with your network now.

I guess you should exchange your laptop's NIC and get another one. Let's see if you got a dead one. Exchange it for another one, and if it's still no go, try another brand.

This looks like my classic problem. I went through a 10 Mb hub to a 10/100 Mb switch then to a Linksys router and then found out it was my crappy cable modem that was causing the lag. It happens every so often, lag will spike up to the 1000 ms latency and higher. I had a Com21 DOXport 1010 Cable ...

As for your remark about other than USB cable link, I'd believe you want to refer to CAT5 cable maybe? I haven't dealt with the USB Linksys router before, so I'm going to guess that it's relatively the same as my Linksys BEFSR41 router (4 port router, CAT5 hookup). Anyhow, make sure that your cable ...

If you only see one DNS entry given from winipcfg, don't worry about it. That'll be your primary DNS. Since you only have one DNS entry, you won't have a secondary. Secondary isn't crucial to having your DNS resolved. At least one DNS is needed, so you're good to go.

Comcast@Home: 3 Mb / 128 Kb
Comcast: 1.5 Mb / 128 Kb

That's the new bandwidth policy that they're sticking with (when Comcast leaves @Home throughout various cities). You can check it with yourself here

Remember that after Feb 28, you'll only get 1.5 Mb / 128 Kb from Comcast, unless they change ...

Have you checked to see if that cable is bad? How about if you give your laptop a static IP address? Could it be that autosense doesn't work? Try putting it on 100 Mb full duplex/half whatever you want and see if it picks up.

Hmmm. Win2K... I don't have this OS, so I probably be missing steps or telling something else. Well, if you go into the Network properties, you can remove the Ethernet. That will get rid of the protocols along with it (or that's how it's done with Win9x/Me). I believe that your notebook should come ...

You can get update drivers at http://www.netgear.com/

I would recommend that you uninstall the drivers and reinstall it. Also, try to set on auto negotiation. I have WinME, and I the only tweaks I apply are the patches available on this website. I also run firmware 1.38.5 for the BEFSR41, going to ...

I have a FA410TX for my Presario notebook 17XL260. Well, the max I've gotten out of this is over 10 Mbps, or around more than 1 MBps when transfering to another computer. I have it on auto negotiation. Do you have the latest drivers installed for the NIC? I have a Linksys BEFSR41 that the NIC goes ...

From SpeedGuide's TCP/IP Analyzer, there's this following information:

bandwidth * delay product:
Your RcvWindow limits you to: 20556.8 kbps (2569.6 KBytes/s) @ 200ms
Your RcvWindow limits you to: 8222.72 kbps (1027.84 KBytes/s) @ 500ms

My RWIN is set to 513920, so that's the results that I get ...

These results are useless if you can't compare it with prior tweaking results. Of course, the lower the latency to your gateway, the better.

Well, one way to find out is to actually load up a game, find a server, and try to play! If you could play, then you're all fine. About the pinging problem, I wouldn't worry about it too much. Pinging you from other people's computer goes through a different port than playing a game at a certain ...

Yeah, I have @Home service, and a SB3100... When you say GI, does your cable modem says "GI3100"... Because GI is also known as Motorola, and Motorola makes cable modems called SURFboard (SB)... I can log onto my cable modem and look at the stats, but still, if my assumption is correct about when ...

Just where do you get your bandwidth information at? I do have the GI3100 (really SB3100). I looked through the pages that the cable modem offers, but the only thing that would represent bandwidth is in Hz. Is there a formula to convert Hz into bits?

My download is: 525000000 Hz Locked
My upload is ...

Well, to tell you the truth, @Home is starting to put caps. My upload was free to go 1 Mb/s, but now, it is down to 128 Kb/s. They're starting to cap the uploads. My download speed is still the same - 3 Mb/s. I also notice that during the evening hours, @Home is slow and latency jumps up big time. =(

Pirating? =)

There's two possibilities--Warez, or he's an official beta tester. Guess how I got my copy.

Waferdog is correct. I also have a Linksys BEFS41. You are to plug your CAT5 cable from your cable modem into the WAN port. Cable modems run on a 10 Mb half-duplex. You cannot force your cable modem to 10 Mb full duplex, 100 Mb half duplex nor 100 Mb full duplex. Cable modem could only except 10 Mb ...

Same as here. Latency is ridiculous after the evening hours. I use to get 3 Mb/s throughout the whole day. Now, it's gone crap. =( It's just after the evening hours it sucks.

If you are distant from your phone company, that may give you crappy latency...

Can anyone shed some light ...
