hmm....I dont really know whats going on guys. I keep lagging while playing games and stuff.
I know its something to do with one of my computers, its not the network because my brother only gets this lag when my computers on.

Now, i've run anti-virus, run spybot and adware. I have ad-watch going. Cleaned my registery, Used TCPView to make sure i dont have anything sending over the internet, and thats clean.

What could be going on ?

I'm running Cox Cable. 5Mbps Download, 512k Upload.
I'm starting to think this is a problem with my router because it keeps resetting a lot randomly now...Think this would cause crazy ping spikes?

I dont have a solution for you unfortunetly, i am having the same basic problem with my DSL the last few days and dont know what the heck it is.

Maybe some new damn virus or the like that the scanners cant see yet.

No one is using P2P software on the network are they? Also try to get a router from someone to test, and try and change the cables. Also what do you have for a network card, is it onboard or a PCI card?

We finally figured out our problem, a cat5 cable that runs to my sons computer got chewed a bit by the dog, when it would short out the router would have a fit and cut him off but for awhile the rest of us had slow internet.

I think i might just do a good wipe of the hard drive.
I havn't done a reformat for 6months anyways...Just got a 250GB external drive to. I'll only backup the stuff i know 100% is clean. The stuff i've downloaded off bearshare (old versions of programs no longer hosted online) i think could be the programs which have the virus's on them.
