Hi, im new to this newsgroup but i thought its not specifically a game
related problem and maybe be able to be fixed by some windows settings. I
have a 1 mb internet connection with 256 kb upload and have two computers
sharing the internet connection. The computer i use is accessing the internet
across the network. I frequently play internet games but whenever someone
else in my family uses the internet on the other computer whether it be
downloading demos, music, or simply browsing the internet i get lag spikes.
The ping with be stable at 40-50 for like 0.9 secs then shoot upto 200-300
for 0.1 secs, and starts over. Is there anyway to stop this by say dedicating
a portion of the upload and download bandwidth to gaming and if so how could
i go about doing this? Any suggestion/solution of how i can sort this out
will be much appreciated.
