Router and Latency

[Iphis]

Having a couple issues with getting red latency and going ld when porting....
Im on bt broad band recently got a router, problem is i often get red latency then ld when port through the frontier.
Strange thing is if i use the norm adsl modem its fine and i dont seem to ld on my other computer which is a p4 2ghz while my amd 64 3700+ 1gb ram does.

Any idea whats going on here? really annoying having to swith to modem to go rvsr and as i said doesnt happen all the time just the majority.

Thx in advance, Iphis

Im Guessing your running windows Xp, if this is the case. the rightclick my computer -> Manage -> Device Manager -> Network Adapters -> select your adapter -> Properties -> Offload Chechsum -> Disable, i think that should solve your problem, if chechsum is allready Disabled try enableing it ;p

Ive only just started to get this problem and tried the offload checksum workaround, though there actually was no checksum option for my NIC.

I updated all drivers etc, thinking that was the reason i didnt have one, but still no checsum disabling option there...

Any other ways to counter this?

Just my luck, the problem stopped occuring overnight to my suprise, to have it randomly occur to me again this evening.

This is really bugging me, does anyone know what to do ?

Meh, disabled my NIC in process of testing some options

Anyway,
Not all NIC-s are meant to have this option, so if you don't have it then problem is elsewhere. Enabling checksum offload is only there so the adapter does some of work with cycle-intensive calcs of CRC instead of CPU.

You can try switching between various duplex settings under advanced settings.

Also try turning off the power saving options for NIC if they werent yet, it might be trying to be funny and save power when gaming


Thats all i can think of atm

Got home from work early and messed around with duplex settings with no luck im afraid, power save was already disabled also CURSE THIS INFERNAL MACHINE!!
