Can any lag appear during an Xbox lan match?

You do not need a router. What you need is a switch. If you are setting up a LAN (local area network) party, that implies that everyone will be relatively local (ie. same building). You will only need up to as many ports as you have Xboxs. There should be no lag because of the network if you use a switch with 100Mbps full duplex ports. Any lag will be because they are made by Microsoft.

The ping requests are timing out. The computer is not getting a response back from the host computer fast enough. This can be caused by a series of possibilies. The first and the easiest to check is the cable going from one computer to the other. Simply by switching the cable one can check this. Two, the host computer isnt fast enough. The network card isn't working properly or a firewall setting or other software is conflicting. Three and still the same. Could be the network card, firewall or software pm the other computer. If this is a dial-up connection this is to be expected as the line cannot handle very much traffic and even one or two backround programs on both computer can "eat" all the bandwidth.If this is a high speed connection then simply installing a router.

No.  You're at the mercy of the bandwidths that are being used at the time.   Sometimes there is more traffic which will make it slower and other times you are using it at a time when not that many people are on so it will be faster.\n\nHope that helps.

Gunz has too many hackers.  \n \nas for your issue, it might be the college's firewall, or perhaps even yours.   Verify that you are allowing the ports\nneeded for the game to get out to the net and make sure the college connection doesn't have some of it's ports turned off.   \n\nHowever, just realize that you will most likly be PWND by people that are wired.  Wireless connections will always be a tad slowed then wired.

It could be your firewall or something like that but you may try to adjust the settings.

Try the Mutiplayer Option... to what I remember... it doesn't.. but seriously look around for some hint of a LAN game... (it's an old game... I barely remember it's existance!!... but I really really think it doesn't

The short answer is that you need a persistent process on the server -- such as an ActiveX control that maintains the connection, or a DLL or the like -- to detect disconnection, if the client isn't being reliable.

If the computer buffers enough so playback is nonstop, the latency can be long and nobody will care.  What sucks is when the buffer runs out so the picture or sound skips.  That can be less than a second long and still be annoying.  I bet if varies quite a bit from person to person.

check the link light on the card.\nmake sure that wire is stable and is not cutted from anywhere.\nmake sure that your lan card setting i.e duplex mode and connection speed is configured properly.

Don't know if this will do any good, BUT, I experienced the same difficulty (and same messages)and I finally tracked it down to a hardware problem (at least in my case!) I was using an old (used and cheap) hub with a connectivity max of 10 meg. When I upgraded to a 100 meg hub the problem went away. And my LAN is now quick as a deer!

you have a slow connection or some other problem that is causing a bottleneck

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)

It might be the problem cause the online game might take lot of available bandwidth.\n\nYou can try turnning off all game application. Reset your modem by turning off and on and try to see if there is improvement

if you are on diff ip networks, but same physical network, jumping a cable over will cause problems. try typing the ip adress of the other computer into your browser.\n\n&#92;&#92;10.0.x.x

Make sure the connection is sharing an internet connection. Check that the xbox setting are correct in the networking area. if the u  have a modded xbox, its possible that the chip has disabled the nic on the xbox. \nCheck the cable make sure it is not broken.\n\nMy ? for you. why dont u get an inexpensive router to make things easier when trying to network?

try adjusting your players buffer rate

no crossover. by hooking to your computer i am assuming you have 2 ethernet ports on your pc. you would hook one port to modem and one to xbox. then go to control panel, network setup wizzard, choose your own connection,this computer connects direct others connect through it. or go to network connections and create a new connection to accept incoming connections using the port the xbox is hooked to. or in network connecions right click the port that is not connected to the web (unplug xbox too) go to properties, advanced and allow other network users to connect through this computers internet connection.\n\n i would use the last option
