you dont need a static service from your provider, but when port forwarding you need to set a static private on your computer OUTSIDE of your dhcp pool and forward those ports to that particular IP.

Norton creates a different network when you connect through your router and when you connect direct to your modem. That could explain why this isnt working for you through your router. Are you 100% sure that you have absolutely no ports blocked on the network norton created when you connected to you...

Rais, what are your specs?

the other option you have is to DMZ the computer you are going to use myth on and leave your norton firewall or windows firewall on that computer, but this is not the best way.

If this is windows, remove norton firewall, make sure windows firewall is disabled as well. Good software anti-virus and anti-spy are all you need when using the router you have with NAT enabled and software firewalls could still be blocking your ports even when those say they are allowing the ports...

Portable myth.

Na, doesn't make a difference wether a key is held down or not.

That's a great question. After testing that, I noticed that as long as the camera is not moving everything works perfectly. Even in the custscene videos when the camera is moving it is choppy but fine when not.

I've tried them all and I lag with every one. Since I have an ATI I figured Direct3d would be th eway to go but it lags. Yes, the strange thing is in software mode it lags the exact same way. I'm starting to wonder if it has something to do with my drive. It's a SATA-150 7200 tho, should be fine unl...

gugusm, are you able to run direct3d windowed? whats your config?

I've got LCD widercreen so Im at 1680x1050. I've tried every resolution tho with the same result. I'll bet it has something to do with a widescreen monitor. That's pretty much the only thing I haven't taken out of the picture. Really appreciate your suggestions and time Pyro. Thanks!

Whats your desktop res and game res set to?

I'm running

Windows XP SP2
AMD 4200+ Dual Core
1GB DDR
ATI X1300 with 256DDR2 PCI-E

I also have a pentium system with similar config to your x1650 rig. Are you using Direct3d windowed? Have you done any "tweaks" to your vid card at all or your 3d/Open settings?

If someone is not having any trouble with XP and Myth as far as the smoothness of the camera could you please post your system specs so i can look into getting componenets that are known good? thanks

Any XP users expreincing a choppy camera in-game? I am having the same issue with my Pentium system as well as my Athlon. I have replaced video cards, tried running the "windows media player" fix on another thread here, Tried OpenGL, software, and Direct3d, with sound without sound, 1.3 al...
