Choppy connection

from Stardock Forums
Hi, I'm a long time user of multiplicity. I have used it in the past in the office on past rigs but never in my home. I decided to buy a new fast PC and have XP installed + Updated. I install multiplicity, configure it and make the new PC the secondary computer. Desktop switching works fine except for the fact mouse movement + typing is laggy and choppy. Im using a 100mbps internal net connection on a netgear router. This never has happened to me before. In the past it's always been very fast and unnoticable. Has anyone else had this problem? Have you corrected it? Thanks for the time.

My router is a netgear WGT624 v3

I do not believe I have used this router before with multiplicity.
I downloaded it at the same so my versions are the same.

What kind of network card does the other PC have?

Multiplicity packets are time sensitive and it sounds like something is ignoring the do not combine packets setting that MP uses.

Check for a router's firewall?
