[cpljdog]

The problem is i have one pc that has the worst ping time and also times out ..Its not the cable modem hooked striaght up to a differnet pc i get 10 ms - 20ms with no request timed out.. with the 2nd i get 750 ms - 1250ms and a lot of time outs. same modem and same cat 5... on the second pc i ran updated virus scan ..adware ...bypassed nic card.. with usb... still same results... diabled all firewalls , norton virus , reset the pc back to earlier date... cleaned cookies reset the network settings i am at a lost any other ideas?

run a traceroute..It is a little unusual what is happening to you, but maybe you'll see what is causing the traffic to move so slow?

Other that that...do the dreaded format!!..Especially if other PC's work fine & no other tool seems to help..

Well I wouldnt jump right to a format I would try an uninstall the network drivers for my network card after you find a new fresh copy of whatever your network card is an give that a shot if that doesnt work there are a few sites that help you fix network issues like this im trying to think of the sites... http://www.speedguide.net/tcpoptimizer.php I think that is one of them I dont remember for sure but it might help with it. You might have a few network settings that are to low or way to high. Try running one of the tests an looking into it.

Id recommend you start off by going to broadband an under the broadband tools do TCP/IP Analyzer first an see what that recommends you do etc.

I could just be a bad Modem..I've had it happen myself..the only other thing I would look into is your ISP...splitting your signal can sometimes favor one more that the other...have your ISP ping you at both PCs..if this ends up being the case..than check your Ethernet Card, Modem, Cables & so on...it might just need a simple upgrade.
