ok this is my first time on this site and i think this is probably the
right forum if its not then im sorry =(


this may be kinda long but this is the whole story and i dont have
computer smarts by any means so please bare with me..


ok a couple weeks ago my computer was working fine, i was only using 1
computer i was on dsl bla bla bla not my problem.

so i just moved a couple days ago with my good friend and i hooked up
my computer in my room and hes got his in the living room.. so i have
everything hooked up and im connected wirelessly.. the connection says
im fine its at about a medium/goood range level..


but when im bored i like to play games.. 1 particular game i like to
play is a game called counterstrike. when it opens theres a list of
about 1000 servers you can choose from and it usually ranges from about
10ping - 300 ping

ping = lag which im sure u no.. when i was connected by myself at my
old place i had no problems with lag whatsoever everything was fine
internet was fine

but now connected wirelessy i notice that when i play im getting
constant lag and im getting kicked out of the game at first i thought it
was a firewall but i dont have any running..

now ive heard from different people that when your run wirelessly its
only truly a hassle when your both on at the same time but my roomate is
hardly ever on his computer so im basically on mine alone so everyone
said i shouldnt have a problemm... i dont no how to explain this any
better because my username says it all i am probably the most computer
retarded person on this planet. but i guess basically what im trying to
say is. could it be bad internet connection or... blahhhhhhhhhhh i dont
noo

im sure theres hundreds of reasons why its not working based on the
useless information ive given you buttt if u can throw some maine ones
at meeee id apreciate it..

i mean id rather sit here and try and explain myself as good as i can
and maybe get a useful answer instead of paying some guy 50$ an hour to
come n do something he'll probably fix in 5 minutes..

Sounds like wireless interference (e.g., from a cordless phone).
Try different channels (1, 6, 11).
