You seem to know all about this stuff...and I know this is a very old
message.
However, here's my deal: I USED to have those huge latency problems
described by the author of this thread. Then I began using RASPPPOE, and
the problem went away. Now I have removed RASPPPOE because I added a
Linksys router, and not have two machines running off of it. The problem is
now back...on both machines of course. Any words of wisdom?
You'd be my best friend if you emailed me: li...@darelldd.com
Thanks!- Darell
