Hiyaz!
I am on AT&T@home cable(GI SurfBoard 3100 cable modem). I usualy get good speeds,right now I'm at 2469 dwn/538 up kbps.
But when gaming such as UnralTournament,I can play for a short time and thenstart getting lag.
When I race in Nascar3 online,I get a bad connection message about 75% through a 10% race,then get diconected.
What do ya think my problem is?
Thnx

PS: I did install (sguide_tweak_98.zip)
and really helped my speeds.
I installed the default tweak and ran it and had the same problems.I reinstalled the tweak 98.zip

It's a(EZ Connect USB 10/100 Fast Ethernet Adaptor)
I seen some say that a pci adaptor is better.
Any thoughts

Are you behind a Linksys router/hub? If so, dump it and try without it.

No,I dont have a hub or a router,I've recently gotten rid of the usb ethrnet and installed a 3com nic.
But still getting the diconnects and lag. http://www.speedguide.net/ubb/frown.gif
Tues.17th Att tech guy is comming to my house and sweep my line for noise and hopefully replace the modem.
Maybe this will help?
