Ping time problem
last night my net connection shut off totally until i power cycled my router.
Now getting horrible ping times on everything (websites, online games, etc,). I've tried power cycling both my router and modem, running virus scanners, spyware / adware scanners, i've talked to the tech guys at my ISP, i've tried it while running my firewall / virus scanners and with both of them turned off. I still get great download times and all the internet speed tests i've tried come up great, but my ping times are horrid. I'm running wireless broadband which i've never had a problem with until now. The tech guys at my ISP were completely stumped as well. i'm getting 100+ms times just pinging their computers and all their systems are running fine. So that leads me to believe its a problem on my end. when i try and tracert anything it times out 90% of the tries. when I run "pings" through the command prompt it'll get about half the tries at decent ping times 50-80ms then the other half of the time will be 300+ms. i'm running off a static IP. anyone have any thoughts? |

Have you tried both with and without the router? That would help narrow the problem down, since if everything worked fine with the modem directly connected to the PC, the router would be the likely culprit.

try goin to www.dslreports.com and going to the tools section and running the tweaks tool this will tell you if theres some setting that a program may have messed up...and if its an older pc you may want to check the time to live speed...hope this helps...

to me that would tell me that you have a bad connection between you and the isp. and not your problem.

I'm thinking its either some kind of virus / trojan / worm thats messing with my ping or an isp problem somewhere.
