This has been going on for a while now. When I start TF2 it hiccups and I lag for 5 minutes and then it goes away and doesn't come back unless I quit and start it up again or my brother joins.
Other games don't do this. Minecraft works fine. Garry's Mod works fine. Left 4 Dead 2 works fine. Except when my brother starts playing TF2, it's so darn annoying.

Can you try taking the router out of the loop - just plugging the cable direct from your DSL/Cable modem into your computer? That would rule the router out real quick.

Other than that it might be a cpu problem.

Does my router have anything to do with it? It's Netgear. We got it early '08.
