I have an open NAT and high ping levels (<25 MS to most of the Eastern US).

Do I still need to forward ports and/or mess with the MTU?

Why?  (short, top-level answer for a non-technical person would be great.. i.e. "it will reduce your lag", etc.)

Thanks!

Thanks... I was kind of hoping someone could answer my question above...

btw, I connect wirelessly to a airport extreme router... modem is from comcast, service is decent bandwith (10 down, 4 up I think?)

I did ping test, usually get very good results for packet loss, ping, etc.

I do tend to play with a geographically diverse group though.. .I'm in New England, but I regularly play with guys in Georgia, Arkansas, California, British Columbia (and way up there in the boonies of BC), etc., as well as local guys (some just 10 miles from my house).

Thanks, sorry to hear that Mac is sick...

Thanks Mac sorry to see you go.

Good luck with your new endeavors. Thank you for all your help.

Cheers
