Posted September 23, 200717 yr hi,I am helping a friend configure his Dell laptop to connect to my Linksys router so we can play games online. I have unchecked ipv6 from the wireless card so its not used but I still get low connectivity. I cecked out the cable guys article on tech net (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/community/columns/cableguy/cg0506.mspx) about configuring ipv6 and I set the registry entry to prefer ipv4 over ipv6 and still we cant play. It claims due to high latency but we have tried it from within the same room as the router. Here is the ipconfig/all for his system. Windows IP Configuration Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : BPC Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . : Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Hybrid IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : No WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : No DNS Suffix Search List. . . . . . : mad Wireless LAN adapter Wireless Network Connection: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : mad Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Dell Wireless 1390 WLAN Mini-Card Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-1B-FC-51-82-A1 DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : Yes Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.102(Preferred) Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Lease Obtained. . . . . . . . . . : Sunday, September 23, 2007 10:46:27 AM Lease Expires . . . . . . . . . . : Monday, September 24, 2007 10:46:27 AM Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1 DHCP Server . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1 DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 24.196.64.53 68.115.71.53 24.159.193.40 NetBIOS over Tcpip. . . . . . . . : Enabled Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection: Media State . . . . . . . . . . . : Media disconnected Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Broadcom 440x 10/100 Integrated Controller Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-18-8B-CB-D8-4B DHCP Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : Yes Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes Any help would be appreciated as I don't know what else to try myself. Thanks a lot.
