Firstly Apols if top posting is the norm in this NG, I cant be arsed to
check everytime if its Top or Bottom
Secondly, I get the same problem on some games (especially Ghost Recon)
We narrowed it done to 2 things
1. On my setup and my mates too, The ADSL router has built in Fierwalls that
need switching off
2. We all use the same service provider and for some reason, this causes
problems.
Can't help other than that
Cheers
