He means "get a good connection".

Maybe the connection is effected by to many games...? I get a lag in some other games i play..

What do you mean "by too many games"? A broadband connection is recommended for online games such as Continuum, so you might wanna get that Mr. 2.3% S2C

Also, make sure your RAM can keep up with everything that's running, so it won't interfere in your connection.

What i mean by "other games" is other besides continuum.

Uhm, your connection probably isn't fast enough to handle all the traffic your system wants to send, just upgrade to a faster connection and you're probably fine.

On the other hand something like a firewall or other type of network component could be messing with traffic, but that probably isn't causing your problem.

I didn't say that, and Purge didn't either.

What connection type (/speed) do you have?

Smithy101 - Thu Jan 06, 2005 8:47 pm
Post subject:

What company? Are you on a router/network?

Smithy101 - Thu Jan 06, 2005 9:09 pm
Post subject:

Yes. I have a router. Basically for linux. But yeah.

Basically for Linux? Uh, what?

I'm not too fond of Linux; but I bet Solo can help you on that.

I was just wondering what he said that for, and I think he just tried to look "cool" or something.

One of my friend's internet was really, really slow and it turned out his router had a cable plugged into itself. It was really stupid, but check that?

When we we're installing linux we needed that router (i think)

Umm you shouldn't need a router to install Linux...do you know what a router is? And when you say "high speed internet" how fast is that? I think you mean DSL/CAble but there are 4 speeds in there.
