Conquest slow LAN

[arzul]

I have Civ III The Conquest v. 1.22 and have problem with slow LAN game (2 human players, 6 computers). A need to wait a second or two after each movement. I use normal wire LAN, have no router (computers connected directly with crossed cable (I don't know if it's a proper name for this in English)) and my Zone Alarm is switched off. Does any solution for this problem exist, or should I get used to it?

I have the same problem. I wondered whether it was because our computers were too slow (Pentium M 1.2GHz and 1.5GHz laptops with 512M RAM).
