well i had my network setup for about 3-2yrs now without any problems till now. im running RR (RoadRunner) w/ a netgear router rp114 w/ 2 pc's & a labtop running on the ports. i recently been having connection down times, ill be up surfing and when i go to another site it would lag and i would get nothing. i would have to wait about 2-3min and ill hit refresh then it would be fine. it would do this about every 5-10min surfing. i tried resetting the modem & router, but i still get the same thing. so i checked out RR website support and tried pinging and some trace thing(ping -n 100 www.m-w.com) and it would run and then ill get some timeouts during the process. what could that be and this is all connected with modem & router. so i turned off everything modem, router & pc's, connected straight from the modem and pc did that ping thing and i would get no timeouts, no lag while surfing & playing games. so i checked out netgears website for firmware/upgrades, dl'ed the latest firmware and got the same results but less timeouts. what could be the problem? it started happening ever since i got free digital cable for the month. errrrr......
oh the 2 pc's are running win98se and the labtop is running ME. labtop is my girlfriends and she gets the same thing i do, same as the other pc.
