I *have* been in tourneys before lah, but that was 10yrs ago and they weren't using a standard scoring/bracket system yet so can you blame me for thinking the way I did?

Alright... I have problems that I can't explain regarding my internet connection. At times I am cursed with ping ranging from 600-1000 while trying to play TF2.

Is there anyone else who uses Streamyx with two or more computers connected through a router? When only my computer is active and I have no downloads or torrents using bandwidth, I get a good ping in TF2, but as soon as I start a torrent or the other computer uses any significant amount of bandwidth my ping skyrockets.

Does anyone else have this sort of setup or experience these kinds of problems? Thanks in advance for any helpful replies!

Free weekend or not I can't play T-T

My power light on the modem goes on when I turn the modem on. It glows red for a few seconds before flickering green. Then the green power light stabilizes and then after a split second when DSL connects goes back to red for a few more seconds before flickering green. The green power light then stabilizes and after s split second when DSL connects goes back to red rinse lather repeat.

However, when the DSL and Internet lights are on, and I try to connect, it goes back to red again, and the whole cycle continues until the DSL/Internet lights are on and until I try to connect to it again. Then the same thing happens.

I actually tried plugging the modem into a different power outlet, and even reconnecting the phone line to a different phone jack, but the problem remains the same.

However, I have noticed that at about 4pm + the modem can and DOES connect to the Internet and sometimes stays on (while I'm connected) until late at night before having the same problem I mentioned above again. It's very, VERY annoying.

I can't even play Team Fortress 2 now T-T

Is it really the power problem if something like that happens? Or does it sound more like a phone line problem? I'm a total noob when it comes to troubleshooting and to be honest, none of us have the time to actually take it down to the centre to get it checked out.

Someone mentioned that I can use a PSP charger to power my modem though, so I probably will try that before purchasing a new modem.



I wanna play TF2!!

Can anyone give me any advice how to create a server that people can join while behind a router?
