Very helpful, thank you guys!
I think I’m going to order the John Keegan and Erwin Rommel books.
Thanks again!
The Good Karma Thread

@Cmdr:
It’s not like you lose 1 IPC in starting units for every bad karma point you have or something.
I don’t really see any point with the karma thing. 99% of all the times I did smite someone I
have also made a reply to a post which I disagreed.
My +/- karma doesn’t bother me actually, my game stats and my lacking playing skills bother me much more.
If my karma statistic was equal with my 1vs 1 game record, that would hurt a lot :roll: :-D :-P -
@Imperious:
That only changes the IP for your LAN. It does not change your WAN, which is what you really need to do to do it correctly.
Not necessarily - I was assuming he was jacked straight in. Actually, resetting the router might help (unplugging for a few minutes the power and then plugging back in), there is one.
Switch, what is your setup like? Do you have your internet connection coming directly to your computer, or is it going through a router and on to your and angel’s?
-
I was via a wired router.
But I have replaced the system (ended up with a cheap Vista loaded unit). The fixes that y’all were suggesting had all been tried and had no effect.

maybe change out the Ethernet card

Alas, it is an HP and the Ethernet connection is part of the main board, otherwise I would have gone to TigerDirect and bought a new card and slapped that puppy in months ago…

Dude, you didn’t have to go to THAT extreme.
We still needed to know more about your problem. The best thing you can do is describe everything, because a million possibilities are waiting to be eliminated. It could have been just a bad cable.

Surely, you had a free PCI slot to drop one in? Maybe 20 bucks for a new NIC.
-
I did do the cable.
And I am not a patient person (like none of y’all knew that :-P )
So I spent $500 bucks on a modest new desktop.
Truth be told, I already like the new system better than that HP.
Of course now I have TWO old PC’s sitting on my office floor disconnected that I need to get pics and files off the hard drives, then rip out the HD’s and destroy them before I get rid of the systems…

:-P
Switch, I had the same problems, finally broke down and got a new computer. It goes too fast sometimes! I got wiplash last nite while playing a live game! :-D
Good luck with the old machine, but I think they are killing them with some kind of viruses 8-) so we have to buy new ones.
OHH no!? The system police are coming for me now, gotta hide in the matrix now! :-o
