I will not be playing much for TFC for a long time. Either until one of these things happen:
1. I get DSL/Cable.
2. I go to college.
3. My connection improves greatly.
4. Maybe if I get a new video card.
5. If I miss TFC and Theville.
I am just tired of my connection. It is really choppy/laggy. I have a hard time entering games a lot of the time. It always disconnects. It just
makes playing TFC no fun anymore.
I will still frequent the forums though. _________________ I need to make a sig, but I don't have the time. Maybe I will eventually. |

have you tried changeing your rate setting and tweaking a bit with net_graph? or are you on one of the many isp's who oversell their bandwidth.. or do your phone lines just suck and have static in them...
hope you can find a way to make things better soon.... _________________

I have run every tweak I could to try to fix this. Everything left has to deal with switching isps or something like that, which my parents won't do since they don't use the internet and don't care. _________________ I need to make a sig, but I don't have the time. Maybe I will eventually. |

Borg tell me your sys specs and you might get a gift in the mail from me. I have ALOT I mean ALOT of parts. I shipped Computer some of them for his use.
So let me know. If I have something that will help your sys I will ship it to you no charge.

Just show them this note: GET BORG DSL NOW.
A kid with a mouse and a keyboard in hand has no time to run with the wrong crowd.
Make them a deal , Do something special or take on an additional chore.
Tell them living in the stone age of dial up is stunting your growth.
Show your dad the great porn sites if he only had DSL.
Sell your baseball cards...wrong era sorry.
You are Borg they must comply.
Hold your breath
Kill Kittens until you can use your hands for something else.
Replace the TV with a 12" black and white with no sound and say " how do you like living in the past.
Wait for your parents are at work, dress in your dads cloths paste on a fake beard and sign for the installation of the hottest connection you can find. Then deny everything when the bill comes. But as long as you have it....
Whine until they sue for peace.
Replace the phone with a can and string, then say see what Im talking about.
Tell them a years worth of DSL is cheaper then a lawyer to get you out of all the trouble your going to get into.
Good luck Borg I hope something gets you up and running again |

Dk, the problem is with my connection. I am running the worst isp ever, AOL, all my parents fault (and my naivity 4-5 years ago). But maybe this can help someone tell me something I may have missed when trying to get stuff to work.
FIC VA-503+ mobo
AMD k6-2 500 mHz
128 mb PC 133 Ram
20 gig hard drive
sound blaster PCI128
Lan card(can't remember right now, it is ISA though)
Diamond Viper v330 4 meg AGP 1x (going to get a Radeon 8500 LE within a month, I hope)
Windows 98 SE with ICS on another computer
Accessing the internet through that computer
If I left anything out tell me. _________________ I need to make a sig, but I don't have the time. Maybe I will eventually. |

Interseting set up.
Ok you have a 4mb video card agp x1. If you dont get the upgrade I have a PCI Voodo3 card 16mb that has worked well for me with TFC (it will be faster than your current card). Also if you have any free PCI slots I will send you a PCI nic. They are generic but heck, i have got a bunch. And if yours is on ISA that would help a good deal if you are routing though another comp for your shared internet connection.
Let me know (when I say free no charge for shipping or anything, I just get to kill you with a cb twice lol). I am also trying to think of another option so I will post again soon.
LOL and Computer got all of my PC 133 ram I had left.

DSL runs about $50 a month usually...thats $12.50 a week...find 4 yards to mow...set up a lemonade stand...if you do get DSL I would format the whole system to get rid of every trace of AOL...I have never seen one program slow down a whole system so much... |
