QUOTE Verify your port triggering or forwarding rules to ensure both TCP AND UDP communications are allowed[/quote]Done. I had both port triggering and port forwarding for a while for the same ports -- could that be the problem?
QUOTE Verify that your devices are not performing any packet inspection on Allegiance's data[/quote] Only device between me and the web is the router. I've turned off filtering; I'm wary about turning off the firewall as well.
QUOTE Verify that your computer is not performing any packet inspection on Allegiance's data[/quote]Done, doesn't help.
QUOTE Verify that your modem is using Ethernet cabling instead of USB. Replace USB connections with Ethernet ones[/quote]Done -- it's ethernet.
QUOTE Try toggling your router /modem's uPNP setting[/quote]Done, doesn't help.
I've had good days and bad days -- lately though, it seems like I'm always lagging (except for the two or three seconds immediatly following a lagjump). I've turned down all the graphics (everything short of setting the resolution to 640x480). Oddly enough, the Alt-FF lag number usually doesn't read more than 60, which I understand is playable.
Anyone have other suggestions?
At the moment, I think it's most likely the lack of RAM and the shared connection.--j_k
