I play Everquest (on-line game) and am getting this problem :
I get a lag (data loss) situation quite a bit in EQ but it's an intermittent problem. I alt/ent and called up the "connected to MSN window" to see the actual data bytes incoming. When the lag started, data stopped incoming completely and didn't resume for 15 seconds. This creates a packet loss that starts at 1.6% and gradually increases to 43.8% and it's the same over and over. Then 50 seconds after the lag began, it started again. So, I get 15 seconds of non-playable lagging followed by 35 seconds of normal play. It repeats over and over until I restart my computer and relog into the game. Even then EQ may have the problem immediately or it may start back 20 minutes after I restart.
Any ideas. The 50 second repeat must be tied to something.
My modem is a USR V.92 Fax Win Int. Is this a modem problem also I am using Win98...thanks
