Subject: QUAKE Routing Probs
>Hi folx..

>In January there was a discussion about some quake probs with the PM3's.

>If our dialups connect to our local quake-servers they have no probs (ping

>The technical background:

>customer dials via ISDN into PM3 and connects to our switched LAN
>The internet-gateway is a "Steelhead-Router" by M$ with a 100Mbit device

>We tried to experiment with various RegistrySettings in the

>for other games like diablo...)
