would a seperate ethernet card help with gamespy/ direct connect

[ep-irl 0]

Hello, thinking of getting an seperate ethernet card in the hope it would help gamespy disconnecton? Also what the minimum broadband speed for fsx

Why do you think a separate Ethernet card (Bandwidth 1 GBit/Sec these days, that's 100 MByte/Sec) would help with GameSpy disconnects? Is it timeouts due to lack of Internet bandwidth? Cheers, - jahman.

Use any other lobby except the default and your problems should be minimized

Well my thinking is if I got a really good card that could compensate for packet loss with maybe a buffer , would it stop being disconnected from gamespy

[Guest jahman]

The speed of the Ethernet card is so much higher than your internet speed it won't make any difference at all, and even if it did, the packet loss or timeouts might be originating somewhere else along the route anyway. Cheers, - jahman.
