So far, I got the PPP working great except that online gaming no longer works. When we try to play Diablo, the game searches for the fastest server. After about twenty seconds, it returns an error message saying that the line quality is either very poor or the networt is not processing UDP packets. It then allows online chatting and so forth, but not game playing. I'm pretty sure that the line quality is fine, so it must be the UDP packets thing. Does anyone have any thoughts on how to fix this? thanks Ryan A.
