Windows Forum / Windows Vista / General Topics / May 2008Dialup gaming with Vista
Installed vista on my gaming comp and had a Trendnet TFM-560x modem. Modem would connect between 42.5k-48k but would experience long pauses, high latency and disconnects. I replaced with a USR 5686E and first connect was 49.2k which immediately paused, experienced high latency and crashed the game I was playing. Updated firmware and drivers but modem connects anywhere from 28.8k-48k but experiences same problems as before. It's not the ISP or phone lines I've gone down those roads already, any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any help. > Installed vista on my gaming comp and had a Trendnet TFM-560x modem. > Modem [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > advance > for any help. Get a serial port modem, they are the only ones that you can be sure are hardware modems. Any other will probably be a software modem and they were never very reliable. Trev It is a serial modem. All modems I've used in the last 5yrs have all been hardware modems and all have required serial ports. > > Installed vista on my gaming comp and had a Trendnet TFM-560x modem. > > Modem [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > Trev > Weird thing is, with XP my winsoft modem (a creative blaster) connected better, had better throughput and was a lot more stable than most of the hardware modems that I've purchased. It also is still alive and kicking, after a good 3 years, while almost ever hardware modem I've purchased died out and went the way of target practice for my .45 in just about 1 year. Too bad vista doesn't support my old modem. > > Installed vista on my gaming comp and had a Trendnet TFM-560x modem. > > Modem [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > Trev > I started using 'soft' modems with W3.1, once you get the driver right, they work fine. > Weird thing is, with XP my winsoft modem (a creative blaster) connected > better, had better throughput and was a lot more stable than most of the [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] >> >> Trev |
