specs:dell xps b800r, 128 rdram,nvidia geforce 256(6.5 driver), cable modem(@home.). 3com network card.
the problem:while running UT, I will have ping spikes that last anywhere from 20 secs to 5 minutes.. These spikes will usually reach around 1200(unplayable) When its working right, i ping from50-150 on most servers.. Ive had the @home people out here 3 times. They say everything is fine.. I Dwnldd a speed monitor and My upstream max wtih large files is around 140kb/s. Now, when running ut, it avg's about 40 kb's. So, i dont think its a upstream problem. I have set my speed to 56k in preferences and it did seem like it helped my spike issue, but its soo choppy and laggy that way.(unplayable)
Ive used different network cards and still the same problme. I also notice when I shut Ut down, my activity light still flashes for about 3 minutes.. ANd it flashes fast.. It also does it when I leave a game and im just in the menu.
This problem just appeared one day without me making any changes to UT or my system. Ive reinstalled UT once already and it didnt help..
DOes anyone have any suggestions? Im at the end of my rope!!!!!
FOrgot, im using UT version 436, but it also did it with 432.
