Slow Network - How to reduce lag on MMORPGs? I'm on a shared network and experience tons of lag while playing MMORPGs. When playing the same game on my home network with the same computer, I never experience lag, so I'm guessing the slowness is coming from the connection. Is there a method I can use to speed up the connections or reduce the lag on the shared network?
Final Fantasy XI Network Lag? I've recently bought FFXI and have been playing for about 3 days. So far i've experianced some REALLY bad lag, the network/connection kind. Im coming from another MMO that has superior graphics and 10x the population of people than FFXI has, but my lag is horrible. Im running an 8mbs cable connection and no other program requiring the use of the internet is having any issues. Another bit of information is that im NOT running the latest expansion, i am using Chains of Proxxxxx. That shouldnt make a difference, though. I've tried renewing my IP, but that has done me no good, im not sure what else to try. I also forgot to mention that i experienced no such lag from the MMO that i am coming from. I appreciate your help, blue. However the solution to my problem does not ly within the bound of lag by certain area/populations in the game. The game im coming from is Lineage 2, a game in which there are up to a 1,000 people in a town by the name of Giran nightly w/ shops up. (due to thier not being an auction system). In FFXI, however, i lag everywhere. People around me or not. The solution to my problem its much more technical. The only thing i can think of is square changed thier access ports with the release of Treasure of xxxxxxx expansion.

Can using skype over a network cause game lag? If I make a call to someone on the same local network as myself with Skype, does the connection go through the the modem, or just the router? What about with a conference call between 2 people on the same network and one person on an outside connection, is there more than one connection going through the modem, or is it consolidated into one connection through the modem to the one person outside the network? Hope that makes sense. I understand that I don't have unlimited bandwidth on my internet connection, but I want to know if skype will even connect to the internet or not if I call someone on the same local network as myself.

Networking 2 Xbox 360s into a local network, lag free? Hello, just a couple of question. I currently have a LAN with a 4 port router, with 3 Pcs and 1 Xbox 360 hooked up. The Xbox 360 is also hooked up to live. But now i want to hook up another Xbox 360 to the network, but i dont have any ports left. Is there an easier way to hook it up into the network, rather then having to buy another router or switch board? i have seen those usb ethernet adapters, do they work ? Also if i can network them in, is it possible to have 2 Xbox 360s running at the same time, and both hooked up to Live on different accounts? and if so, will it be lag free?

And btw its no fps lag, its like (for example) im playing world of warcraft and then i can see everything that is going on around me and i can move around... but according to everyone else i am standing still and i can't do any thing or in Warcraft TFT i will get latency lag...
Xbox 360 Wireless Network Adapter Lag? Hey I am thinking of buying the xbox 360 wireless network adapter and was wondering whether it has any lag or slight delay times while playing games such as halo 3. Secondly, will 10GB of downloads per month be enough to run Xbox live? Thanks in advance.
why does my local area network have a time in lag of 30 seconds or more every day? i have to computers hooked up through a blitzz wireless router. i am not using the wireless so it is cable conected by bolth computers to the router . i have about 12 folders being shared over the network on computer a . when i try to access them from computer b there is usualy a 30 sec lag time before it accesses the files on computer a . the internet always works fine on bolth computers its just the files it trys to access that makes the lag . bolth are running xp pro . after it the folders do show up on computer b it works fine for a while then the same thing happends again every day there is no viruses or spyware as i kleened all of those nasty bug out . the files are not accesses from a shared folder but rather from a shared network folder . thanks in advance
Am I the only one who gets serious lag on GTA:IV playing on the PSN network? I mean, so much lag that I'm invincible and cannot kill anyone. It usually only happens in freeplay mode but it happens quite a bit. And I think everyone else in the room/channel/whatever is also affected because you don't see "person 1 kills person 2." Anyone else noticed this? Is it just PSN?

after securing my network my internet is lagging? last friday i secured my wireless router using the WEP and eversince than I am having lagging internet. I have comcast high speed cable internet and at times it is slower than dial up. I pinged the router/modem and comcast and it pings fine. I know its not a bandwith problem because I am only using to computers and nothing else and when I do use my nintendo ds one of the computers is off. When I call comcast they say it not a problem on their end. When you secure your network does it mess with the speed of the network or is it something else that might be wrong. thank you in advance for any help and have a nice day. I turned off the wep and the internet is faster. I think it might be comcast. I just did a tracert to comcast.net and many comcast servers kept timing out. going to give them a call and find out. the main one that kept timing out was the homewood il. okay after turning off the WEP it was still slow so I powercyled the modem and router and all is good.
How do I increase the link speed of a network bridge? I recently bridged my wireless connection to my local area connection in order to play xbox live. It works, however, I experience long periods of lag on both my xbox and the computers throughout my house. I discovered that my computer is only allowing 1 mbps of "link speed" to the network bridge. If I increase the "link speed", will it reduce the lag? If so, how do I do it? My wireless connection is running at 11 mbps.

How can I calculate the resonant frequency of an LC network when I only know the phase angle? So here is the problem; I have an LC network that is being driven by an inverter at exactly 50 KHz. My inverter also has a feature that can measure the phase angle of the voltage/current in degrees (leading or lagging). From this information, I want to be able to determine the the actual resonant frequency of the network. Generally the resonant point is +/- 10 KHz and the phase angle is +/- 60°. Thanks for that answer and useful information! Let me try to add a little more information: The inverter is driving a large network with unknown L and C. The inverter can resolve peak voltage, peak current and phase angle. From the information avaiable it is trivial to determine the real power and from that approximate C and R(just trust me on that one). The purpose of the exercise is to find a way to resolve L using the available information. My original idea was to calculate F-res and then plug in all of the variables and solve for L in the standard resonant freq equation F-res = 1 /(2 * PI * SQRT(L*C)).
Limit the bandwidth available to one of the computers on my network? I play street fighter anniversary collection (street fighter III: third strike) on Xbox Live and whenever someone else on my home network accesses a webpage or downloads an mp3 it starts to lag a bit. Is there a way I can limit them to a small amount of the total bandwidth available so that I won't get lag spikes when they download a webpage or do something on the network? I already checked my router settings and I don't see anything like this. I think I said in my original post that I already checked my router settings, but thanks for trying to answer "extremelysexyromantic". My router is a airnet awr014g. I am fairly computer literate and I didn't find any options to do any kind network throttling. There was certainly no 'qos' option. This is obviously not a top tier router so that's probably the reason, but it would be nice if people would respond to what I said, which is that I've ALREADY CHECKED THE ROUTER SETTINGS and I need a software solution. My apologies if I've somehow overlooked something important but I literally went through every menu in the router. This isn't a linksys folks. :P

On usb wifi ethernet adapters, will longer usb length cause lag? I have 6 computers in my house networked on a wifi router. 1HTPC, 2 laptop, 3 desktop. I am getting a lower signal quality and bandwith from two of the pc in my house. I installed a high gain antenna for my linksys router. It helped but you can only do so much going through closed doors and walls. I was thinking of getting two usb 802.11g adapter, connect through a 10' usb cable extension and attaching them on the outer door jam of these rooms to increase the signal. They would have direct line of site with the router only about 20 feet away. Would there be any lag issues with a usb cable this long? (moving the router close is not feasible. The other alternative would be to buy antennas with extension cable for my pci cards, but I am thinking they would lose consierable reception over this distancem, and that I am better off moving the "whole" device closer.

Why does our new Windows 2003 network crawl? We are having problems with our conversion from a Novell server to a Windows 2003 server. Programs will crawl that require heavy data transfer. I have pinged serveral computers on the network and they typically are showing a 1% packet loss rate. Is this normal? Do you think the problem could be with one of our switches. We are currently running 1/100/1000 ethernet switches on our network of aboout 40 computers and 8 printers. Are there any common problems amoung Windows 2003 servers that would cause lag in network speed?
Want to hook PS3, Dish, and Xbox 360 to network in different room from router...?

Will it cause any lag for online gaming?
