My Local Subnet and MeFollow

Hi,

I've been having lag and disconnecting problems ever since I got cable internet service. I thought it was something on my end, maybe my router, maybe something else, but I have been able to eliminate that as the problem.

I think my lagging and d/cing problem is someone in my apt. complex eatting all my bandwidth. Is there any thing I or my ISP could do to help me out? Or is this a lost cause? I can't go around to each of my neighbors and ask them to stop downloading ****, cuz I'm trying to play video games . . .

Any way this is the conclusion a friend of mine and I came to about my problem and I just wanted to see if anyone had a any good ideas on what I can do.

yeah i've activated my UPnP on my router, I've read thru this forum several times and tried everything from hard wiring my ps2 to my modem, setting static IP's and opening ports, Frame Bursting, taking the firewall off my router, and I still have problems. I think it has to be an external problem outside of my network in my appartment.

And the number one thing that makes me think this is I'm in an apt. off campus of a large University. When I was at my apt before everyone (and I mean all the students at the Unv.) returned from winter break, I had an awesome connection, never d/ced. The first day of classes, my connection craps out on me again . . .

But whatever, I'm looking into DSL maybe, unless someone gives me something actually fixes my problem with cable.
