Hi there, According to this topic viewtopic.php?f=21&t=16368 so i decided to share sumthing about how to reduce ur latency. Hereï¿½s a list of tweaks that may help quite a bit. It involves disabling Nagleï¿½s algorithm, also commonly known as TCP no delay, which is basically an optimization of network traffic that tries to reduce overall packet volume but can cause extra latency in the connection. This should work on Windows 7 or Vista, though the same principle can probably applied to other operating systems as well.Lets start.. I suggest before do the tweak, test your ping by following this : Open Command Prompt (usually in All Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt) run cmd When Command Prompt pop-up type ping login.maxko.org.There will appearing your average ping.. 1 ) From a Command Prompt (usually in All Programs -> Accessories -> Command Prompt) type ï¿½regeditï¿½ 2 ) Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces 3 ) Browse the items under interfaces until you find one that has an IPAddress entry matching the network interface you want to affect (typically LAN IP addresses start with 192.168 or 10.0); note that if your IP address is automatically assigned by a DHCP server you may need to look for a matching DhcpIPAddress instead of IPAddress.Example : http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/200/latency.png/ 4 ) Right-click on the interface and select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value, name it ï¿½TcpAckFrequencyï¿½ 5 ) Right-click the new TcpAckFrequency value and select Modify, enter "1" Note : Hexadecimal radio button should be selected (1=Enable) 6 ) Right-click on the interface and select New > DWORD (32-bit) Value, name it ï¿½TCPNoDelayï¿½ Note : that TCP is all uppercase this time ï¿½ thatï¿½s intentional 7 ) Right-click the new TCPNoDelay value and select Modify, enter "1" Note : Hexadecimal radio button should be selected 8 ) Verify that both TcpAckFrequency and TCPNoDelay now show up in the adapterï¿½s property list with types REG_DWORD and values 0ï¿½00000001 9 ) Exit regedit and reboot(reboot is necessary for the changes to take effect!).Last step repeate this step to see your new ping. 10 ) Play a game and enjoy your new low ping

I have tested this exact thing for using WoW before, I got some better connectivity since it just improved the amount of packet speed etc. I dont see why it wont work here, if anyone will test it we would all appreciate some feedback from it please. thanks

Not sure if it works or not, didn't test it myself, but recovered the topic creator's text for you.
