i'd suggest to have wired internet.
if you have desktop, of course.
laptop... altho i wouldnt suggest it, if you have laptop... use wireless.

that's all i would say.
i have desktop with wired, so im like the first one to join the map when we rtv it.
fuzzy bear is next (because he lives in japan)
whatever, i never have problems except when server shuts down sometimes.
i like it when the server shuts itself down, because it restarts with smee tower!!!
