Cannot get networked computer to play WOW
I posted this in another category but hopefully can get some help here. I have 4 computers networked together, two upstairs and two downstairs. My setup is... From internet modem to Belkin Wireless G router. Two ethernet cables going from router to two computers upstairs (hardwired). The two downstairs are wireless using Belkin Wireless G USB Network Adapter. The both work fine from internet browsing etc. but when I try to Play World of Warcraft on the family computer downstairs, I can't, my network on the computer stall and cannot play. The downstairs computers are directly under the upstairs computer and router. All computers are running XP, have 1 gig memory and at least a 2.4 gig processor. I have thought about drilling a hole through my floor/ceiling and running an ethernet cable to the family computer downstairs to be able to play. I want the holes as close to baseboard/wall as possible. Other idea was a 50 foot ethernet cable out the window, down though downstairs window and hooked that way. Any ideas or suggestions what the best way is?
