Guest Posted September 7, 2003 Posted September 7, 2003 im playing VC mta with someone on LAN. 2 people. it goes fine for a while, but it will say someone timed out. is there a workaround for this? its a 100mbit connection. also cars a bit jerky, is there a way to get rid of lag? thanks
b0b0 Posted September 7, 2003 Posted September 7, 2003 Where is this LAN? At home or somewhere else? If you are at home, are you using a hub (not a switch or router)?
GreyRabbit Posted September 8, 2003 Posted September 8, 2003 I think that 'jerky'ness is just the limit of the code. Its still a beta version, and it was designed so even dailup players could play with other users. Arguing over the internet is like the Special olympics. Even if you 'win'... you're still Retarded

SeBsZ Posted September 8, 2003 Posted September 8, 2003 no it's not the same, a router shares the internet connection and divides it over different computers. A hub just connect multiple computers... kind of??? Right? Well maybe im wrong but I do know that they are not the same. Visit SeBsZ Vice Mods NOW!

MAD_BOY Posted September 8, 2003 Posted September 8, 2003 well, i first had a router (text on the box) it shared the internet and we could use it for network-only then we bought a hub (router was broken again it said hub on the box) and it did the same, so i think it's the same Official B.L.A.S.T.Addict [VCP] forever
Iam A. Spammer Posted September 8, 2003 Posted September 8, 2003 Well, you're actully absolutely... WRONG! Hubs and routers are definately NOT the same thing. Is this really my name or a reference to an ability of mine? FREE PRON
EagleEye812 Posted September 8, 2003 Posted September 8, 2003 If you are at home, are you using a hub (not a switch or router)? hub is the same as router You are mistaken! A hub , opposed to a switch/router, sends ALL the data to ALL connected computers, whereas a switch (or a router with built-in switch) sends data to the computer that it's addressed to!
MAD_BOY Posted September 8, 2003 Posted September 8, 2003 ok, i know i'm wrong now *MAD_BOY is sitting in a corner Official B.L.A.S.T.Addict [VCP] forever
elix0r Posted September 8, 2003 Posted September 8, 2003 don't know the pedantic definition.. but mainly, a hub just blindly sends out any and all broadcast packets from any port to any other port. (I mean port/jack on the hub that you plug ethernet into) Each port/jack on a switch is "smart" and it learns the MAC address of whatever device is plugged into it. So that the switch doesn't blast unnecessary traffic out to everything else on that switch. I don't know about what sort of ms delay you might get by having a switch instead of a hub on a small LAN. e l i xOr PS i only post this since it seems most were interested in saying bad MAD_BOY was wrong but not giving any sort of indication why.
MAD_BOY Posted September 8, 2003 Posted September 8, 2003 elix0r: why am i bad? and most people gave a reason why a HUB and router aren't same Official B.L.A.S.T.Addict [VCP] forever
elix0r Posted September 8, 2003 Posted September 8, 2003 hehe... guess I have to start reading bottom lin of posts.. that's what I get for trying to avoid reading .sigs A hub , opposed to a switch/router, sends ALL the data to ALL connected computers, whereas a switch (or a router with built-in switch) sends data to the computer that it's addressed to!, said EagleEye812 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Oyst Posted September 8, 2003 Posted September 8, 2003 I hate to ask but will there be a time in the future where there will be absolutley no jerkiness at all?
Kent747 Posted September 8, 2003 Posted September 8, 2003 probably not any time soon... Its nearly impossible to make this perform as well as a game that we had access to the source code. We have to fake a lot of things to get the job done, and as a result can't control the world as directly as we'd like.

b0b0 Posted September 8, 2003 Posted September 8, 2003 If you are at home, are you using a hub (not a switch or router)? hub is the same as router No, it isn't. poseyjmac, if you are using a hub, I suggest you switch to a switch or router. The hub will cause your network to lag like crazy.
Madd Dog Posted September 9, 2003 Posted September 9, 2003 actually if theres only two people on the hub both people will be getting more then enough bandwidth to each other. Still a switch is better. $100 to the man who can find the manual to women
b0b0 Posted September 9, 2003 Posted September 9, 2003 A hub can be very annoying. I had trouble streaming programs through Samba when I had a hub.
