Heya,
I was wondering. How many of you play bz on a wireless setup? OS doesn't matter, but would be nice to know.
If you do play on a wireless setup, would you mind giving details, such as:
version of bz
OS
Any other active processes that may be using UDP (games and such)
What model / version / firmware version of your router
Thanks much,
Peace
Fiber

I've got a B/G wireless network going with a homemade access point with a Netgear card of which I have forgotten the model number. It seems to work fine usually, although the atheros linux drivers are still pretty buggy, and sometimes the network seems to burp (although that could also be because I don't have enough access points throughout the house )

Have you all ever noticed a crash as a result of playing bz over the wireless network? I.e. Is your router unable to handle UDP properly?
Thanks,

wireless
i dont do wireless myself but was looking into it instead
of trying to run wires around the house for 3 computers..
BUT,
my server owner runs a bzserver off a wireless and pushes
it to the max...hes connected by wireless to his neighbors
house at least 50 feet away i belive....it creates some lag
on bad weather days...
t1 line, linux system i think
kinda neato though i think

I have an iBook G4, with Mac OS X Panther (10.3.3) I only use Wireless. I think my neighbor has Verizon DSL, and I use her connection. In the neighborhood of Brooklyn that I live in, houses are basically attatched to each other, so I get a strong signal from her connection. I hardly ever have any lag at all. My school is a laptop school, and we have Wireless, there, but it can be a little laggy, sometimes.
