Look up some UK proxy servers. What you'll get is an I.P (internet protocol) and the port which it uses. With those numbers go to your internet options, under LAN settings and enable proxy server use, input the IP and the port.  It's kinda tricky though, cause you need to look for a good proxy that won't slow your conection.

Well, it depends on the game. (maybe you should write the title of the game?) If you need  a product key, you probably need to buy the game, so that's probably what you need to do.\n\nI dont think we can dicuss warez here. X_X

You could always make a VPN between you 2 and it will act as if you were at a LAN and in the same room. Email me if you need more details on how to do this. I run my own game server for CS, CZ and some times BF2 and my friends all have a VPN to me so that its a little easyer for them (we all have adelphia cable internet)

I haven't tried it, but if you know any other languages, you might try seeing if the game you want is availble in a different language. I have it at work as well, but I haven't tried to circumvent it. Most places have it set up to block things in only in English ;)

Try this link.  It give some information about how "round-robin" proxies work:\n\nhttp://homepages.tesco.net/J.deBoynePollard/FGA/dns-round-robin-is-useless.html\n\nHere's a Google search if you want to get other opinions:\n\nhttp://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=GGLD,GGLD:2005-18,GGLD:en&q=How+do+%27round%2Drobin%27+proxies+work%3F\n\nGood Luck

I used to use UK2.NET but it often seemed quite slow, I am now hosted in the states and it is much better. From the UK reg123.co.uk is quite good (value and service).

There probably arent any nearby players. Ask a friend of yours to start a server of the same game you're playing. He should be in the same city atleast. Then see what ping you get. The closer the other players are to you, the lower ping you'll get.\nAlso if you're using wireless internet, or internet with a firewall, then it'll be tough to get it lower(but it is possible)

can't. the server only allows one game per ip address. to play two people on the same server, you have to have two lines. with one router, you only have 1 ip address.\n\nmaybe somebody else will come along and answer this.

Use a US proxy server.

replace the .co.uk with .com if you are in North America.  You will only be able to use these servers if you have a paid yahoo plus email account.

If it's a browser game you cannot.......if it's a trial download it's a waste of time trying.....if you have purchased a download just burn all files to disc

Set a static IP on the PC that will be hosting the game.  Go to properties of your network adapter, select TCP/IP, click Properties,  IP should be in the same IP range as the router (e.g., IP of PC set to 192.168.1.20, Gateway is the router's IP 192.168.1.1), and also input static DNS which you can find in the router's Status page.\n\nIf you already know the ports that need to be opened go to the router's setup page (by default its 192.168.1.1, password is admin).  \n\nGo to the Applications and Gaming Page.  Input the ports needed, select protocol of those ports (if uncertain you can select both). and enter the last octate of the host PC's IP address.  Enable it/them.\n\nMake sure you don't have any firewalls enabled on the PC.\n\nYou should be good to go.\n\nI suggest getting tech support help if you run into any problems setting it up.\n\nOh, and the router does not have drivers.  The CD is a setup disk (much like a wizard).  The software downloadable for the router is its firmware - don't mess with it unless techsupport says you need to.

Well if its a direct IP to IP connection, meaning there is no server, theres not much you can do. What you can do is basically do all the small normal things people do to improve their connection, Spyware/Adware scan, disable any programs that take up Internet or system system resouces, and update the networking card drivers, you can also try using a diffent protocol for the game, like TCP/IP, IPX/SPX, ect. The best thing to do, would actually to use a server for the game, and let it handle everything.
