    My 100 mbps network is running so INCREDIBLY slow with games. It takes a full 2 secs for an action to appear on my #2 computer's screen after i initiate it using computer #1. The only game that works smoothly is Descent (yes, the original descent... one of the best games ever imho). I've also tried Rogue Spear and Red Alert 2... no luck.

    Comp #1:
    Athlon 1800+
    256MB DDR
    GeForce2 MX-400 64MB
    Linksys 10/100 NIC

    Comp #2:
    PII 400
    256MB SDR
    Voodoo2 12MB
    Intel 100 NIC

    anyone have ideas?

    i'd disagree with the 2nd being too slow. I used to to go LANs when K6/2s with Voodoos were all the rage! CS etc was fine on them, even quake3 just as it came out.
