At my home I was switching rooms with my sister, so in the mean time with painting and everything going on i setup my current pc in my living room. I couldn't run a ethernet cable straight thru so i just hooked a cross-over cable into my laptop. (windows 2000 pentium 3 600mhz and 300mb of ram) now i have a belkin wireless g card and a linksys wrt54g router with most current firmware. I figured that my ping would be really high since i thought i had added latency but in battlefield 2 my ping was 40 on a server. then after i finished moving the rooms i directly connected my tower pc to the wrt54g and now my ping is 125 on the same server with nothing else added , no external applications or anything like that. whats going on here?

Battlefield 2 on a P3 600?

Anyway, it's still very vague, what system is running wireless, which is not?

So the BF2 machine is connected to the laptop, which shares its wireless connection?

How was it connected before then?
