XP Lag Troubles while playing

[=IrishCorp=Robert]

Hello everyone, I have installed Project Reality and have been in a good few games now but, I always get "There is a problem with your connection" repeatedly throughout the match. To be honest I really don't think it is my Network because I'm runnning 3mb at the moment and it seems to have no lag while I'm playing xbox online.

I really think and hope it is my computer (terrible) causing the problem because I'm getting a laptop in the next few weeks so hopefully then I'll hopefully be able to play properly.

My computer specs are at the bottom and I know thats one of the reasons for the "Connection Error" but I just want to confirm that if I buy a laptop with 4GB RAM and ATI graphics card that this could possibly stop the "Connection Error"?

Specs:
Windows XP Service Pack 2
Compaq Presario
AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3500+
2.20GHz, 960 Mb RAM (Plus 6MB of Virtual Memory lol)
256 mb Nvidia GeForce 6150 LE

Regards...

I think the top 3 reasons for "Connection Error" are
Punk buster #1.........Uninstall/reinstall withpbsvc update with pbsetup
Firewall issues #2.............. redo firewall rules. Delete old rules,create new ones or try a different firewall.
Internet/network #3...........If your running Xp you can tune up
your internet connection with TCP Optimizer to maximize throughput.
Check out speed guides web site
Click here to use their TCP/IP Analyzer
You can check your ping with a free tool like Plotter Freeware 1.1
results will show if you can improve throughput.

Thanks very much for the help, much appreciated.

I have added Project Reality.exe to the Exceptions list in my Firewall and I am going to try and use throughput aswell.

Thanks, see you on the Battlefield
