I am new to this Forum. Please forgive me if this question is either too old to be raised again, or if I should be asking it in a different place.
I just installed a gateway (D-Link 704) between my computer and my son's, so that we could hopefully play UT against each other. I bought the gateway so that I could more easily set up a cable or DSL modem at a later date. Currently IP addresses are set up so the gateway is .1, my son's computer is .2, and mine is .3.
I try to start a multiplayer game, then have my son join my LAN address. He enters the game and we both begin moving around. My player functions fine. Unfortunately, his player periodically "locks up" for 10-20 seconds, usually after firing on me or a bot. By the time his unlocks, he has been killed standing around.
If I try to just play a single player game on his machine it works ok (other than being sort of jerky).
He is running a PIII 450 OCed to 540, 192MB RAM, and a 16MB TNT video card. I am on a TBird 1200 OCed to 1333, 256MB RAM, and a 64MB GF2pro video card.
Any ideas on what might be wrong? Thank you in advance.
