Anyone joining my server recently will have discovered massive lag spikes.
After checking all the computers in my house, I discovered that no one was DLing anything (Although my sister has limewire and was sharing her entire music collection :/(But no one was DLing, I'll talk to her tomorrow)). However, the last thing I thought was the unsecured Wireless N Network. Well, that's changed now. Lets see if this changes anything.

(There were three people connected to my network before. two through wifi B, one through G. Who uses B anymore?)

People like you make me have to get a Wireless Router. :-(

Anyways, how far away is your router?

Digmaster · January 03, 2009, 01:20:42 AM

for me its like 30 feet? Maby 50? But its though like three walls and the floor, at an angle that makes it go through the floor for a long time. This hurts it.

I know this. It just weakens the connection.

Why did you have your wireless connection un passworded fool

D3ATH · January 03, 2009, 06:27:45 AM

Look for people with laptops around your house.

But really, what kind of connection you have?
And what speed it has?

Its 6mbs 802.11g (Allows for B also. We have a second passworded one with N)

Yep, internet's fixed. It was those cigarettes >:(. I can host again. If I found out who was going that I'll loving kill them. NO one messes up with my server.

Only because they die before they can figure out how to use a computer.
