My brother and I recently purchased 3d prophet geforce cards and installed them in each of our computers. Our computers are currently networked through a hub and we both share a dsl connection (the modem itself is connected to my computer) through the use of sygate software. Now for the problem, ever since we installed the geforce to our computers, we can no longer play quake2 online at the same time. If we do, our pings sky rocket! Prior to installing the geforce, we'd have no problems playing online quake2. It can't be a bandwidth problem because I noticed that he can download large files while I play online and we see no problems. Anyone know what might be causing this problem? I'm thinking it's a driver problem related to the 3d prophet, but who knows? Thanks for any help...
