Ok, I'm trying to play EQ2 on the wired network.

 Can we say severe lag?

And don't go telling me "oh we're bandwidth constrained"  EQ2 uses about 100kbits/sec bandwidth.  Latency is something its sensitive to however, especially if the firewall isn't properly configured.  Why can't I ping 10.17.0.100?  Neither can I ping the outside world.

 If one of you would run wireshark, you'd see how saturated the network is by bittorrenting.

What's a better use of the network, file sharing of a possibly not-legal nature, or social gaming during the off hours?

There's an ethics question to this as well
