Pauses while hosting large online game?

Playing Mekwarrior 4 Mercs online...when I'm hosting a 16 player game...during gameplay, the screen freezes for about about a second about every 10 secs. The other players seem unaffected.

It's a Barton 2500 oc'd to 2800, 1gb RAM, Radeon 9500 pro, XP (all the tweaks to XP done), on the epox 8rda+ board. I'm letting the OS handle the pagefile (but when I change it, the pause behavior is still there).

DSL with 256 up, 1.5 down.

My older 1.4 with a GF3 and slower connection and less ram ran it perfectly smoothly.

Any suggestions?

Host the game on your old box and play on the newer one.

I actually surprised you're able to host a 16 player game on a 256 up DSL line.

I have the same upload but rarely come close to 256.
