Hiy all)))
The Good Karma Thread
-
Did you check hardware issues? The speed test sounds like you did but it is the best I have to offer.
Pull the “modem” from Angel’s PC and swap it out in yours (if compatible) and see what happens.
-
It is my LAN port, and it is hard wired to the motherboard…
-
I really have no advice, but have you tried calling them and complaining about it? Or maybe it’s just time for a new PC? o_O
-
This one is just over a year old, but I have never really been pleased with it.
I just don;t want to have to change to Vista…
-
And I am sorry for hijacking your thread Bean…
-
From what I hear Vista sucks.

No worries. 8-)

You can still get XP, don’t go Vista yet.
What browser are you using? Try clearing the cache and see if that helps any.
Is it browsing the web the only thing that is slow? Noticed anything else going on? Only certain sites that do it?
Another thing to do is this:
Go to start, click on “run.” Type “cmd.” This will open a command prompt. Type “ping google.com” Let it do it’s thing. If it responds 4 times by saying that it could not be reached or failed to respond, try typing ipconfig /release. Then type ipconfig /renew. This will reset your IP address, and hopefully clear up a problem if that is it.If you can give me more info, I can try to help.
And maybe that is enough for some good karma. 8-)

That only changes the IP for your LAN. It does not change your WAN, which is what you really need to do to do it correctly.

@Cmdr:
It’s not like you lose 1 IPC in starting units for every bad karma point you have or something.
I don’t really see any point with the karma thing. 99% of all the times I did smite someone I
have also made a reply to a post which I disagreed.
My +/- karma doesn’t bother me actually, my game stats and my lacking playing skills bother me much more.
If my karma statistic was equal with my 1vs 1 game record, that would hurt a lot :roll: :-D :-P -

Not necessarily - I was assuming he was jacked straight in. Actually, resetting the router might help (unplugging for a few minutes the power and then plugging back in), there is one.
Switch, what is your setup like? Do you have your internet connection coming directly to your computer, or is it going through a router and on to your and angel’s?
-
I was via a wired router.
But I have replaced the system (ended up with a cheap Vista loaded unit). The fixes that y’all were suggesting had all been tried and had no effect.
-
maybe change out the Ethernet card

@Imperious:

Alas, it is an HP and the Ethernet connection is part of the main board, otherwise I would have gone to TigerDirect and bought a new card and slapped that puppy in months ago…

Dude, you didn’t have to go to THAT extreme.
We still needed to know more about your problem. The best thing you can do is describe everything, because a million possibilities are waiting to be eliminated. It could have been just a bad cable.

Surely, you had a free PCI slot to drop one in? Maybe 20 bucks for a new NIC.
-
I did do the cable.
And I am not a patient person (like none of y’all knew that :-P )
So I spent $500 bucks on a modest new desktop.
Truth be told, I already like the new system better than that HP.
Of course now I have TWO old PC’s sitting on my office floor disconnected that I need to get pics and files off the hard drives, then rip out the HD’s and destroy them before I get rid of the systems…
-
:-P
Switch, I had the same problems, finally broke down and got a new computer. It goes too fast sometimes! I got wiplash last nite while playing a live game! :-D
Good luck with the old machine, but I think they are killing them with some kind of viruses 8-) so we have to buy new ones.
OHH no!? The system police are coming for me now, gotta hide in the matrix now! :-o
