this post was originally burried in the "ethernet cards" post, but i'm really interested in getting some specific responses - thus the new topic:
when the cable boy came to install my stuff, i wasn't home. anyway, they used an ethernet to usb adapter in line from the modem to my usb port.
am i losing performance by not using a nic, or what?
my pings have really started to blow for the last week.
i was at 450 on the roost last night (which makes for frequent re-spawns), and i haven't seen a sub-200 ping in a week and a half.
its probably crowding on my node or whatever, but if a nic could improve my biznatch, i'd like to know.
thanks.
