LFS used to be fine - decent pings although not amazing.
Tonight, I switch on and all I get is laaaaag, and I mean lag. Every server, every connection I make.
Go to start -> run -> cmd and ping a variety of web sites. Everything is fine, pings normal.
Reboot computer, router, and modem. In-game lag still there.
Connect modem directly to computer, reboot both, and hey presto, no more lag.
Put router back in, unplayable lag again. Take router out, no lag.
By connecting directly to the modem, then putting the router back in, then rebooting the modem, I managed to get everything running normally again, i.e. with router, no lag.
But then I rebooted the pc, and it went back to massive, piss-taking lag again.
Nothing has changed on my end - not the router, not my computer. And yet suddenly the router renders my game unplayable.
Anyone got any ideas?
The ISP is Blueyonder, the router is a Linksys WRT54G running firmware v3.03.9, with my computer being the only attached device to one of the LAN ports (the wireless function of the router is disabled). It's got me thoroughly stumped, and more than a little pissed off.
