| online problems: lag on online games and very slow download speeds Hi there Currently I have two problems 1. Every time I try to play battlefield 2142 online it works fine except that it hangs up every now and again with the message there is a problem with your connection. It will once every minute or so and has rendered the game near unplayable. I have tried it on every quality setting (though I can handle best quality on offline play easily) and on many different servers all ports are open and according to uotrace a tool suggested by EA my conection to servers is excellent. 2. Using Utorrent I am experiencing very very slow upload and download speeds in the region of <1 kbps. The port is forwarded correctly and the torrents are healthy. My specs Am using a D-Link usb adaptor (DWL-G122 Ver C) with wireless router (DSL -G604T) with a pipex max acoount (advertised 8mb speed test shows download speed of 5429 kbps and upload of 380 kbps) vista says signal strength is excellent and is running at 54mbps. Computer is new with vista home premium pre installed with a windows score of 5.2 (so should have no problems playing games). I have also installed Vista anti lag to try and combat the problem which says my connection strength is 63% and has helped somewhat with my gaming problem but not enough. Hopefully I have provided enough info if any more is needed just ask and any help anyone can offer will be greatly appreciated. |

Have you made sure the firmware for your usb wifi dongle and router is up to date? Having played a lot of the Battlefield games it is common to get the 'problem with your connection' message and I'm on a wired connection Can you temporarily connect to your router via a network cable or borrow a wireless networking card (if you have a desktop pc?) I've heard getting your internet connection via usb can be a bit dodgy at times |

| Re: online problems: lag on online games and very slow download speeds Well my first suggestion would be to install the Vista drivers again. From there you can try to force install the XP driver. Just download them. Right click on them and use the Compatibility tab and run it under XP SP2 and see if they install and work for you. If not contact DLink to find out if and when they plan on getting out new drivers. -- ~Alex T~ ..:~A.K.A. Makaveli213~:. ..:MVP Windows Shell/User:.
