Quote:The network connection icon thingy in your toolbar. Looks like 2 computers. If they are constantly lit, that means high traffic.
Well mine is a wireless network connection icon so its just 1 computer with some wavy lines... Doesn't seem to be lit up all that often.
Quote:The ping thing.. Start->run and type cmd and press enter. Then type ping game7.holdouts.com and press enter. See if any of the numbers that have ms at the end are high.
Did this about 7 times. Almost always reasonable pings, 40-90 or so. Twice in a row, however, i got "request timed out" as the response instead. That's basically how it is when i play, fine for maybe 30sec-3min then completely useless for 5-30sec.
