    only a simple question:- you got a firewall virus scanner and spyware programme?

    Pings look pretty good

    Once again seems fine, the full story is that i got the broadband on wednesday to replace my isdn, every thing ran fine on that, now since i have been getting some nasty spikes in wow (my addiction) i get them on ventrillo too so it doesnt seem to be related to the game, i also tested it on my laptop connected directly to the router, i have windows firewall on and i think there is one enabled on the router too

    ehhh its been a while but theres a command tracert /+ www.google.ie i think that continually runs the test, obviously doing it once wont show you anything but doing it a few times will show you were you spike.

    That 74ms one would be the prime suspect.

    hmm that command doesnt work, and the help list for tracert does seem to show a loop option
