Hmm. Play With People with no lag and avoid games with hi lag , and create your own games on bnet ;) be sure not to talk on the phone .

router? linksys. O oh...
I don't like Netgear's or Linksys' routers.

Have you try portforwarding? It allows programs to send data through certain ports.

Find the game you want to portforward and the model of your router and it will tell you the rest.

Jays, you're wonderful.
If you were a woman, I'd marry you. THen I'd hit you, if you weren't working in the kitchen.

Still havent fixed the problem like i guess i can have a solid connection with 1 v1 but once i have to connect with 2 people it lags so 2v1 or something will be just as bad as 4v4

Did you try following instructions on this site? www.portforward.com
Can't say it worked for me, but it's worth a try.

Try to disable any firewalls if you have any, before loading the game. If that helps, you might have to configure your firewall.

Try to reset or re-plug your router before playing Multiplayer games.
One last thing in my book is to deleat bncache from your StarCraft directory.

Still not working any other help?
i jsut cant connect to more then 1 computer it seems like

[PrestonBurke]

Well its probbaly because there are 3 other people. There connection may not be as good as yours, so it takes up more bandwidth than necessary.

Most people dont do this, but you should get everybody on your game to set there connections to extra high latency. It will run smoother, but there will be a slight pause between when you carry out orders.

Banning may seem like a mean thing, but if it helps remove the lagger, go ahead and do it. But it may not always be fair in a team game.
