I have a battlefield 1942 server running on the internet and whenever someone starts transfering files on the LOCAL network all the people on the server get lag (aka 300+ pings). I am using a 16 port switch to connect everything together directly including the internet (dsl 3000/512).

My understanding was that switches gave dedicated bandwidth between the two nodes that were talking but currently it is acting as if it is a hub?

Any information on why you think this would be happening would be great,
