That was the first thing i checked and its on lant1

Did you restart after all the scanning and updating? Stupid question, I know, but still. Other than that, http://slashdot.org/ and check out the sony one, that might help a little bit. besides those, I'd just make sure you do a FULL virus and spy/adware scans.

Do the "tweak test" first ... then "Doctor TCP".

You have a new machine and these tools can help you change settings in windows that will optimise your broadband connection. These tools helped me increase my speeds by almost double.

Are you hard wired to the router...or are you wireless Question

That article in the steam forums is for those using "wireless" network connections.

wireless

Then you have the same problem that Fly has...

You can look at some suggestions there also. Wireless signals are prone to ups and downs...it's the nature of the beast. Many things can interfere with the signal.

It's perfectly fine to disable "wireless zero configuration" ... as long as you have a utility that came with your wireless card in order to control it. Most internal wireless cards DO come with their own configuration utility. If it's built into the motherboard...it may not have it's own utility.

What do you use now to control and configure the wireless signal Question
