[unimatrix001]

errr did u run a listening or dedicated server????? in english..... could u play

from the computer with the server or that computer just had a window with a

console???

[unimatrix001]

listening server...dedicated servers wont work for some strange reason, but i'll fix that eventually

hmm @ 18 machines broadcasting to every other pc on the hub

that might not be the most healthy set up for avoiding packet colisions

get a switch

trouble shoot first ofcourse ... if it runs with 2, 3, 4 machines
then starts to act up as more join , its probably too many colisions being caused by the additional network activity

but get a switch

Hubs still around?
a 24port switch costs < 500TT (seen on some pricelists) The switch brand isnt 2 good but say what, it will work better than a hub any day.

as rum said 18machines broadcasting lawd that is asking for lag.

[unimatrix001]
