Yea I'm having the same problems with Starcraft as well. I could play on 56k with NO problem whatsoever and playing on cable is no problem, but when I play on my DSL I lag like crazy. I can't host games, and when I join a game, I can't play with more than two people (including myself). I have a speedstream 5200 series modem with a WRT54G Linksys wireless router. I'm directly connected, so I don't use wireless. I tried directly connecting to my modem and that doesn't help. I've tried opening ports in my windows firewall and that doesn't seem to work (I'm not sure I did it right; I allowed port 6112 with TCP protocol; I wasn't able to use UDP and TCP protocols; It didn't give me that option on windows firewall). I tried opening ports 6112-6119 with both protocols and that doesn't help. When I ping www.battle.net in the command prompt, I don't receive any of the packets. When I trace the route, I lose 67% of my packets through the router and 33% through my modem.
System specs:
3500+ AMD Athlon 64
KN8 SLI motherboard
1 GB of RAM
80 GB hard drive
6600 Nvidia Geforce video card (256 MB)
I have DSL regular 1.5 MB, so the internet being slow isn't my problem.
I've called the Speedstream company to see if I could find a professional who could help me, and the guy didn't even know how to port forward! So if somebody could show me how to properly port forward, or just help me, that would be nice. THANKS!
