Well, that does help me get more of an idea of the problem. I have never played a multi like that, only ones that I have personally hosted. Have you ever tried to join a personally hosted game? I wonder if you would have the same problem. I would be willing to experiment with you to see if you could join a game on my computer. That way, at least you would know if it is a general problem or one specific to you trying to do it on that site. Could be a lag, however, I have DSL and most of the people I play with are on 56K and we don't have this problem. I would be happy to work with you to try to figure out the problem. Why don't you e-mail me at the address in my profile and let's see what we could try.
