Recently I've been having bad lag, even though my ping is good, (66-133). I'll start warping so bad I cant get through a door and driving is impossible.

I thought it was caused by switching from my old wired router to an Apple AirPort Extreme, (I'm still connected to the AirPort Extreme via Ethernet cable). Last night I pulled my old router out of the closet and reinstalled it. At first it seemed a bit better, but tonight the lag is as bad as it was with the AirPort Extreme.

It does not seem like other people are lagging till I show up– I bring the lag.

My next move will be to connect directly to the DSL modem, with no router.

Any other suggestions?

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

Do a scan for viruses and spyware, etc. They could be saturating your bandwidth.

If you don't have anything else try Spyware Doctor (free), it works pretty good. If you can, connect directly to the internet (no router, no nothing) and turn off anything that uses the internet in the background. If it gets better try forwarding your ports
