lol..I'd fit into that category. Only because my connection is screwing me over...I have a great cable connection, ~100 mb, but my ping jumps all over the place and I lag the crap out of the games I join. How this is, I'll never know. [B)]

It's probably gremlins. They sneak into your internet connection and steal ping packets. Use some good anti-gremlin spray from Walmart or you can do it the hard way, manually.

Gremlins? Explain yourself, because I'm actually quite eager to hear anything that could help me get rid of this problem. There's a Walmart on the other side of town...

Tommyknockers will do it too, but they tend to affect the server-side applications moreso than clients.

not the ones we got around here. they effect anything with 1's and 0's.

[:P] Silly people...any of you know what could really be messing with my connection...? If there is a topic for this, a link would be nice. I've searched and come back with nothing on the issue..

I guess the California breed of Tommyknockers are a little different than the Arizona Desert Tommyknockers. Right now I'm looking it up in my PDA encyclopedia. Very cool stuff, although they left out several key factors concerning Soldat network instability.

I'd be in this category! \o/


The Geologist, sadly I don't know what the problem would be... Have you tried putting up a firewall instead? Crazy guess, I know nothing about it. 8D
