[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1499351, member: 56379"] From the sound of it..the problem is your ISP service...but not for the reason you may think. You did not say exactly what sort of internet service you have...but you have to realize that the "size of the pipe" (the amount of data that can be moved through this "pipe" is limited). If (for example) your internet service is similar to what an individual home would have...you can probably run multiple computers at the same time...with each computer doing relatively "light" computing tasks (e-mail, general internet surfing, etc.). But if you are in a more public type environment (computer lab at a Youth Center with many computers)...where potentially every computer is occupied and each user on every computer could potentially be doing VERY demanding things like watching internet videos...this "pipe" just isn't large enough. What you need to do is (to improve things)...is either: - Decrease the number of computers that are able to access the internet at one time (do the best you can with the internet service you have). - Or...upgrade your Youth Centers internet service (a BIGGER "pipe"...and more money)...so that all of your computers can surf the internet at the same time without any slowdowns. HTH, - Nick p.s. There may be other options as well...but those 2 are 2 that first come to my mind.:) [/QUOTE]
