What would cause this kind of netgraph and how would you go about fixing it.

It shouldn't be my internet...

THat's packet loss.
Better check what's running on your network.
And yes, it could also be youir ISP.
-
My computer is the only one on in the network and dp and vent are the only services running besides my anti virus and firewall.
My internet cuts out a lot when I'm streaming music or youtube and is fixed by turning my router off then on again. I have an older Linksys WRT54G from maybe 2-3 years ago. Could that have anything to do with the issue because it's never happened to me before at my home.

Yep, that's exactly it. It could be your router, wireless card (assuming that's what you're doing), or ISP...
-
I'm not using wireless but it probably is my router. I assume buying a new one would be the only fix then. What are good routers these days?
-

Um i wouldnt take that advice.... Nick do you even know what your talking about?
-
I always lag from my protection so told him about it do you know what i'm talking about?

Off topic post to end this virus excrement.
If you turn your virus software off it will stop doing everything that it is currently doing, blocking unwanted packets, watching every program that is trying to start up, so I have a better idea, why don't you tell the virus software to be quiet about Paintball and allow anything related to paintball be allowed through without any problems. Problem solved.
I had a Linksys router, pretty much the same model as that and I ended up returning it to the shop, as it was basically the excrementtest thing on earth. For the past couple of years I've had 2 routers running in the house, 1st one was the original router (Belkin) and I had no problems with it, and then I got a ADSL2+ Modem and Router thing from D-Link and it seems to work fine, no problems at all really.
-
Thanks Cameron. I will never buy a Linksys again.
-
Update the firmware if you haven't already. I had the same packet loss problem with that router and it was sorted after I updated the firmware on it.
-
What firmware did you get?
-
I just downloaded the newest firmware that they had out at the time... it was sometime last year. Go to http://www.linksysbycisco.com/US/en/support/WRT54G/download and select your version number (it should say your version number on the router's sticker somewhere, I think it's on the bottom), then download firmware on the left. Then just run the .exe and you should be good to go.

ok heres another problem with lag that i have been having and i have two plausible ideas.
First off ill say that i am on a wireless connect (which may be problem number one) however the conection is perfect at a 100%.
The problem is that ill be playing a game (mostly css) and EXACTLY every ten seconds ill have a ping spike and when i say spike i mean from 35 to 240 and this lasts probably one second.
My guess is that my router is checking the connection or something every ten seconds. I have tried to disable my wireless zero configuration on both computers but that was not the problem. I get a small choke spike like up to 14 but im guessing thats my rates and i have NO loss whatsoever.
I have no clue how to fix this and i would love the help if you think i should start a new thread lemme know. or knack, or someone could u make one for me?
-
Well it does sound like it's refreshing the connection every ten seconds. I know there's a windows setting somewhere for that that I've read about. To be honest, probably the only sure fix is to just go wired. :/
-
its probably the wireless roaming for new networks. just get rid of wireless all together if youre wanting a solid connection for gaming.
-
I think I just pissed myself when I saw the dl speed. I've never gotten anything above 7mb before.

-
you from PA br? I had a 10mb dl/1.5mb up when I lived in PA... although I had comcast... it was under their basic "cable" plan too, which was cheap.

When they turned my university's packateer off a few months ago :O
-
Lucky you, my college is like 1mb down if I'm lucky. But like 1.5mb up.
-
Br55Hit, so did the firmware update fix your problem? Just curious. IMO Linksys has gotten much better since they were bought out by Cisco. It is still low-end, but I think it is some of the better low-end hardware.
-
The disconnections have seemed to stop, which is a plus. The overall game connection didn't get too much better until I messed with port and package priority stuff. It's still kinda hit or miss at times but I think part of that is the servers themselves. Still in the market for a new router when I get the money.
@Ftiz - I don't think we can get Comcast in my area. I know it's big by my college but RCN is pretty much it for high speed at my home.
-
i seem to have simmilar issues... on my netgraph every minute theres like a "square" showing up on it. it can really affect my gameplay because it just rewinds me back and forth for 2 seconds wich are almost always crucial. i would like to find a way to fix that problem.
if u didnt understand the issue i could provide a screenshot. thanks in advance
-
I take it it's a black square, which is basically your internet dropping out for a few seconds.
Are you using a router or connected directly to a modem? If your using a router what kind is it.
What ISP(internet service provider) do you have? Go to www.speedtest.net and test your connection to the closest server to your location.(should be the yellow star) Then post the results.
You can also read henrods post on lag issues which I believe is in this same section.

k i have wireless internet connected to a router heres a screenshot (http://i598.photobucket.com/albums/tt70/lester456/paintball2-20090620-132554.png)
and my speedtest (http://www.speedtest.net/result/499954859.png) (http://www.speedtest.net)
tge wireless is d-link DWL g122
i would rly like to find a solution because thats really anoying
-
It's more than likely your wireless is searching for new signals every so often. Or your connection is getting slower every so often.
Unfortunately the only real solution to this problem is to just use a wired connection. Or you would have to get a good wireless N gaming router and a good wireless N card. That will probably run you around $200+ US. So wired is the cheaper and true fix.
-
If you are running XP try this:
Go to start then Run
Type in services.msc
Find the Wireless Zero Configuration
Stop the service, and then change the startup type to 'disabled'
You many need to reinstall some drivers, if you do, it this will stop your computer from searching for new wireless signals.
-
Could his lag be from to many things downloaded on to his desktop?
i get http://www.speedtest.net/result/500385816.png
-
That's your internet connection speed. It's mostly determined by your ISP, then by your computer.
-
never really knew that lol :D
-
I've recently been getting lag spikes, about the same as in Br55HiT's screenshot, but abit worse. Also, everytime I reconnect I lagout. It says: Delta Frame To Old. All of these has only happened recently. I have 74 Processes running, not sure if thats alot or w/e but thats what it goes too whenever i reboot my computer. I've tried commands, but it only raises my fps and I already have high enough fps.
Anything I can do to fix the lag?
-
If you have vista I'm not sure what a good number of processes is. But if you have XP that's way too many.
-
Well I'm using VISTA and I only have 54 running. If that helps :)

I have black lines all over my screen last few weeks, been using wired connection so it's not wireless issue. Same thing I got on my laptop which is wireless. None of the commands worked, my comp is virus free (uniblue rules).
My best advice is: get used to lagg here and there, it will cost you much but there's nothing that can be done about it.
On a serious note, I never found any good solution to resolve black lines on netgraph once they kicked in.
