Its problem of the game. WW2 Fighters cant work with 2 enabled network adapters or over NAT connection. Disable unused network adapter, for NAT not exists solution. |

Every where I read they say that satellite is no good for gaming.
It produces high latency because of the great distances the signal has to be transmitted.
Have you tried (if your dialup isp allows it) playing with just a normal dialup connection?
Just use the satellite for downloading and surfing. |

I spent multi-hours playing with computer configurations, all to no avail.
I contacted the satellite people, and they stated that game playing was NOT supported due to latency considerations.
Sooooo, as much as I really wanted fast internet connections, basically, satellite is only good for internet browseing, not for any thing else. 
I relieved myself of a dial up isp, as i didn't want the added expense. Now , unfortunately, it looks like I will need to reinstate it if I want to pursue my gaming interests.
I want to Thank all y'all for the suggestions and help.
I'll be back ! |
