On a 2 PC LAN,there's no big difference between the 2,I
noticed that when I played with IPX I had a slightly lower
ping,but when the rockets started to fly TCP/IP stayed
lower than IPX....wouldn't say I was lagged on any of 'em
though... :)

Yep,this is normal.

Through a proxy,but this would mean you'd have to watch him
as an observer,so you can't do it while playing.

See above.

This is also not possible in game....i better throw in a warning
that there might be some mod out there that has one or all of
the above features though....but I haven't seen it or looked for it.

Try with TCP/IP and see if it helps,I'd guess it's some form of
network problem....unless the P166 has some minor prob.

Look at the big sites like:
http://www.stomped.com/
http://www.bluesnews.com/
http://www.planetquake.com/
Check their links section and you might find some French Quake
site too....I'm quite sure there are some,but since I don't understand
French I don't know where....
