>| >1. Run this SPEED TEST:

>| >
>| >2. Download the TCP Optimizer Utility:

Apply

>| >ADDITIONAL CONNECTIVITY TIPS:
>| >
>| >1. Extra items in your Networking Properties
Components

>| > delay your system while it's connecting as it has
to
>| choose which component to
>| > transfer the data through. Solution: Remove

Adapter"

http://www.oregoncoast.com/configuration/ConfigNetwork.htm
>| >* If you don't use a Dialup Modem, delete it. In 99%
of

well.
>| >
>| >2. Advanced Users should Reinstall ICS and Networking

>| Panel / Networking section.
>| > Once done power off, unplug, reinstall the card,
and
>| create a new connection.
>| >
>| >3. Lag/Latency can be caused by your Modem or Network
>| Cards and by other
>| > programs running on your system. Firewalls and
even
>| AntiVirus programs have

>| disable startup programs using the

>| >4. Scan for Adware/Spyware/Trojans with Spybot from:

>| > And then run an Online Virus Scan:
>| http://housecall.antivirus.com/
>| >
>| >5. If you use a Router, or similar networking/internet

>| > which you should download and install from:
>| www.microsoft.com/directx
>| >
>| >
>| >IF DISCONNECTED WHILE PLAYING:
>| >
>| >1. Disconnects can be caused by your Modem or Network
>| Cards and by other
>| > programs running on your system. See above for
help
>| disabling those programs.
>| >
>| >2. Another reason for disconnects could be an external
>| router or modem that has
>| > overheated. Try unplugging it for awhile, and
>| contact your ISP to see if they have
>| > a newer model if the problem keeps recurring.
>| >
>| >3. Check for IRQ sharing: Click START / Run / type:
>| msinfo32 / ENTER
>| > Expand + Hardware Resources / Click on IRQ and
>| notice if the sound card, video
>| > card(s), and modem/network cards share the same
>| IRQ. If they do, move them into
>| > different slots, to prevent bottlenecks caused by
>| too much traffic on the same IRQ.
>| >
>| >4. Further to step 3., Make certain that your Network
