Thanks for your help. As for the rating of questions, I didn't even know that was occuring until you pointed it out.

C Del, I have windows Vista on my laptop and am playing EnB with no problems. Thus, I don't think compatability mode is the issue. My desktop is another issue, however.

I am looking for a site that shows mob levels by zone or nav point or both. Any recommendations?

Avani, When I got the Alienware, I didn't take the Killer option. Maybe I should have. My card was the basic network adapter card and Broadband Netlink Gigabyte Ethernet.. I am also using the DW1525 WLan PCLe card and As for using the dashboard tool. How do I do that? Where would it be found? I did a search for "dashboard" and found nothing. I don't see any tool labeled dashboard. For the record, I also just patched my networking card based on what was said in this thread. It helped a bit,but I still get the extreme lag at times that forces me to log out. Promethiusnl notes, "Now on to your problem there might be some packet sniffing scanning software either on your computer or on your network hardwarde that checks the contence of packets as they come to you though the internet. This could label some packets sent by our server as Malicious or just takes to long to scan them. Or you have the large packet option on in the client and your ISP doesn't support large package sizes" Response: How would I know if I have some kind of packet sniffing or scanning software? I am using Verizon.Verizon Fios allows for almost any speed. Also, I am clicking on the Net 7 client that gets me into the game and not the original EnB client. The game plays well on my laptop that is wirelessly connected, where my deskop, that is wired directly into the router, has big lag problems. I would gladly pay for someone to diagnose and improve what is going on. I am curious myself about it. I guess I can live playing EnB on my laptop,but it is strange that my high end Alienware desktop has these problems.

Tienbau, thanks for the insight. Yes, I tried playing the game on my laptop that has a wireless connection and found NO lag. This is bazarre since usually games don't play as well on the labtop as on my desktop. Thus, you may have a point. Any chance that the developers will correct these pocket drop outs? Otherwise, I guess I will play the game on my Dell laptop.

Avani, I know you spoke english in your post,but I didn't understand much other than Alienware PC. So what do you recommend? Please be specific.

I have noticed that that this this lag becomes more frequent when I am warping or going to sector gates. I don't get it that much in stations or simply fighting mobs. Maybe this information will help you in fixing this vexing problem. I also do have a raid 0 orientation. I am wondering if that is a cause of the problem.Although the raid 0 should result in faster hard drive actions.

No, I don't pay $100-$150 per month for just internet. I use Fios Bundle ,which is telephone, internet for whole house and TV.I pay about $220/mo for all of that,which includes two phone lines and 5 TVs. I do use multiple computers with a wireless router. However, the computer that I play EnB with is directly wired into the router. I don't know what kind of net card that I have. However, Verizon set up the whole system. Thus, I assume that their 35MBS for both download and upload could be handled by the net card, although as I said, I think my computer is directly wired into the router.Be advised though, I am a complete idiot regarding computers. When I was growing up, we used slide rules. Computers were main frames only.

As I noted, my upload speed is between 20 MBS to 35 MBS. Yes, this is the upload speed. Also Tienbau, I know where the net7 client is located since I have to click on it to get into the game. I don't have the net 7 proxy. What is that and how do I get it? If you ever find a solution to this vexing problem, would you post it here?

Every so often I get a huge lag spike that I can ooly solve by disconnecting. This only seems to sometimes happen in space and NOT in space stations. Is there any modifications that you can recommend to minimize this? I am using Windows 7. I have a high end Alienware Desktop with 8 Gigs of RaM and a very high end internet speed using Verizon Fios that gives 35 Megabites up and download. Yes, this is my real speed after testing it myself. I also run Norton 360 weekly to eliminate any possible spyware and viruses. I am directly connected to the Fios internet modem. I never have any lag problems with any other web site. My machine is only about three months old so it is very high-end. I have two NVidia Geforce 295 cards in this machine too. For what it's worth, I clicked on the net 7 laucher and run the program in Windows XP mode since this was recommended on another thread. Can you give me any other suggestions?

Thanks

I saw some shields for sale but the item said, "Janquai Restricted." Absent my bad spelling of the race, does this mean that only the Janquai can use it or anyone other than Janquai can use it?

Can any ship mine? If not, who can?

As a newbie, I had a question. Can any ship mine? More specifically can a Terran Enforcer or Progen Privateer mine?

Who is starting up E&B ? Will it be free or will there be a cost? If a cost, how much?

Can a Terran Enforcer mine?

Yeah solved my problem

Nevermind. I used a different password on the portal and wasn't using the correct one for entrance to the game. DUH. Thanks.

I ran it from the net 7 launcher using windows 7. I lauch it using "run as administrator." It patches and I then get a screen asking me to register that doesn't even list the US as an option, which is strange. After I register, it asks for the code. HELP

I can log into the game,which notes that EA is involved. It also asks me for the game code,which I do not have. HELP. Can you activate it for me? My email is **@comcast.net

I am able to log onto the game but keep getting asked for the code. I don't have a game code. HELP

As a new player, I was wondering what the easiest and/or solo friendly class is? I do like to also mine as well.

HI Tech Support. I am trying to create an account. I have just created my user name and password. It was accepted. I have activated it though my email but still get messages about invalid user name or password. Help. My email is **@verizon.net Also, how do I start being involved in the testing? Never mind, I was able to activate it,but the game now asks for a code. I don't have a code.
