Hey guys. Recently, i changed ISP to Primus Canada, and with that i got a new modem (Speedtouch THOMSON ST516). Before, i would be able to play starcraft perfectly, with no lag, but now i do lag. i have two computers on my network, and i use a dlink router. there is no need to port forward my router because it is the same router i've always been using without problem. i even removed the router and just used the modem, and the lag issue was the same. i have instructions here on how to portfoward this particular modem:http://www.portforward.com/english/...g/Thomson-Alcatel/SpeedTouch516/Starcraft.htm
but my isp put its own firmware on it, and the modem screen doesn't look the same (can i post a screenshot of it?). therefore, i'm unable to follow their instructions. also, is it necessary to set up a static ip address? i'm not sure how to do that. when setting up my router, my isp told me to set it to dynamic, and i didn't want to change anything. help? thanks in advance.
