I am using Dlink DWL-G122 USB Wireless Lan and Netgear WG311 pci Wireless Lan card. I got them connected and i am able to do internet on client pc but the speed of the neatgear lan connection is fluctuating from very good to low andthe speed of the dlink lan connection is showing excellent. Now, when I play games thru Lan the games run but in-game sometimes the games stucks and then comes back to normal, this happens after every 2-3 minutes. I am using creative wireless 9000 Pro which is 2.4ghz wireless combo set and also i used my old microsoft wireless desktop set but still the games stucks.

Theres only 8 foot distance between the two wireless lan.

Why is this happening guys...please help me.
 
Would also like an answer to this question. I have 8 meg broadband in my flat, me and my flat mate both have computers and both have wireless connections to the router, internet is fine and we can both download stuff no problem. He has a card adapter, I have a usb adapter. But LAN games just don't work, once we create a game and the other person joins, and start the game, it drops us saying "too much lag" or stuff like that. Happens with every game. The gear can handle me playing World of Warcraft on my own though, just doesn't let us play LAN games.

Please if anyone knows would really appreciate some help, so sick of getting out my 20 metre ethernet cable.
 
ROFL :rofl: :rofl: ^^ I will be more than happy if we get 1mb lines :P

we poor mortals are stuck with 256kbps connections :(

No I am in the UK where 8 meg is currently the fastest connection possible. I am guessing you are in America with some uber connection but quite frankly I don't give a f*** I would rather be in the UK with a decent connection than in a country full of idiots with 10000000 meg connections. Boast all you want, no one gives a f*** what connection you have or how big your pc is.

Now, if you can't make a helpful suggestion - **** OFF.

I was trying to find a solution as to why I can't play wireless LAN games and in desperation turned to google which flagged up this site. Instead of help I get ****ing dickheads like you making useless comments.

LOL you took exactly opposite meaning of what he wanted to say.
He is from India and was surprised to see that you have 8meg broadband :P

About your problem have you opened up the ports that game needs? otherwise it simply wont run.
 
I think the pings must be too variable.... try a ping to your friend's PC

ping <address> -t

Does the time vary a lot? Is it very high? Are there any ping losses?

Yeah that was a great choke off though :rofl: :rofl: must get a little more like those more often..

@ my cuz in Melbourne has dual 6 mbps lines at home, he's works for telstra, something in their finance dept.

@ even our fecking office lines aren't half that fast... we get around 100~300 kbps downloads. Our bloomin admin gets 500 (the pr1ck)
 
my bro lives in melbourne and he has 24 mbps line, and he gets atleast 500kbps on the torrents and has 20 GB limit. when he exceeds 20 GB limit then his net connection slows down to a 256 kbps :P but i play with him online and the pings i get from him are better than what i get playing my mates here in india. hte highest pings i get from him is 300 not more than that.
 
I once had 10 mbps ... we have the bandwidths the company just wants to make more money slowly so they are not releasing.
they'll definitely release when pakistan will give 2 mbps as broadband and TRAI will make 3 mbps as the bb starting point.
this is how it happens here.
 
Nope not moving the gear. Both computers can be downloading files at the same time, but if you stop and try to play a network game of Sudden Strike and it just drops us after 30 secs of pure lag. Not moving the gear at all. No interference, microwave, TV, washing machine, absolutely everything switched off. And like I said it's Sudden Strike, Chaos League, games like that. Not exactly the most volatile of games.

Thanks for the replies, sorry about that post earlier, was having a bad day. :(
