Doh did not read sorry. Try these links http://www.chetnet.co.uk/ http://www.cableforum.co.uk/ Looking at your setup it does seem a bit odd. For best results you should have your modem in to a router then all your other pc's connected to your router. Which you could set up for band width allocation, port forwarding etc for servers and games and P2P if needed. You say you have 2 network connections running from 1 PC a giganet and a 10/100. I hope you do not have the P2P running at the same time as you are trying to game as that will be your network problems right there especially if P2P is up/downloading fast. Virgin have you on a 4mb modem?? seems awfully slow, the standard modem will run up to 30mb at the moment. I have a 20mb at home and its rock solid. It could be your modem will go much fast but you are on the "L" upto 4 mb package. Does your packet loss stay constant through out the day?? If it varies you may be in an area where virgin are now over subscribed and you are in contention with the others on the UBR for your street. When you next get a Virgin Tech visit get him to ensure the Input power levels to your modem are spot on. Too weak or strong have both caused problems for me. I had to get them in the past to turn up the signal level for the whole street as they had been adding customers but not adjusting power levels to match new demand. Those links should help Virgin is wonderfull when it works. But when it does not :-( PS when you next see a tech ask him how much he gets for a call out. you will be shocked TTFN Vis
