Latency issues

Jun 06, 2005 bphii link
Hello all, been playing the game for a few days and really enjoy it. However, it seems that around this time of the day when I am out botting that every 15 seconds or so my hits won't register. Then off and on like that every 15 seconds my hits go between hit and register to hit and not registering.

I asked in 100 and they said its due to lost packets. My ping is very good, under 70 usually. Are there any ports that I am supposed to open on my router to remedy this problem? I only noticed 2 ports mentioned on the FAQ, one for updates and another for login. I opened the one for login on my router to see if that fixes it, as it didn't specify if during gameplay it still used that port.

Here is my config
Athlon XP barton 2500+, 1 Gig ram, GeForce 6600GT, Asus A7N8X deluxe, Lynksys BEFSR41 4 port router, Cox Comm. Cable modem service.

Thanks in advance

You might want to do a traceroute and see if there's a bottleneck along your route.

Are you sharing the router with anything/one else?

yea, looks like my problem is cogentco :( Bummer that there is really nothing I can do about it. Guess I will trade and mine between the frusterating bot fights.
