I host with being that I have dual modems and a great connection and isp. Anyone have any ideas at all???????????

Are you playing on a LAN or over the net? Try only using one modem, and don't multilink...Multilinking causes serious overhead and can slow down your connection rather then picking it up..Try pinging your friend too, see what kind of responce you get..

Playing over the net. Multilink , slows it down ????? Thats a new one. I guess I can try that suggestion but its kinda odd, we have a great ping to each other and play games at about 250ms speed. Thats not slouching. What is overhead in connection with multilinking , you lost me on that one?????
