Very RARE issue with networking

[reaperdx]

Hi, excuse me if my english is bad, I will detail my problem now:

I have Windows XP SP2 installed, and for a month aprox. I'm watching that my ping on local servers going to 200ms aprox. Yesterday I was tired of it and picked up my old rig with Windows 98, and checked if the ping with this rig was the same and... for my surprise, My internet connection where working well, 50ms ping, so I installed a new Ethernet card on my actual rig (VIA Rhine III Fast Ethernet Adapter) and for my surprise again, the connection was working well, Until I swicth back to my onboard lan adapter to show some friend the rare problem.. I get 200ms ping again with the onboard LAN, then I switched back to the VIA adapter, and OH, I get again 200ms ping. I ran anti spyware, anti-virus (ESET Smart Security) and none malicious thing found. I really don't know what to do at this point. I try reinstalling various time the two adapters but nothing happened, tried to scan system in safe mode and nothing, tried to ping some ip with safe mode with networking and it's the same as normal mode. Tried disabling some Windows services that I don't use, and the same.. Any help should be appreciated.

PD: I tried disabling ESET Firewall and XP Firewall and nothing happens, omg..

My rig:

AMD Athlon x2 4000+ (brisbane)

Gigabyte GA-MA69VM-S2 (Realtek Ethernet Adapter)

2x512 OCZ Systemelite

160GB HD WD Caviar

I'm connecting internet through a cable-modem connection, please help

If you've got two separate machines, try running a continuous ping from both over the course of 5 to 10 minutes to make sure it's not just a temporary network issue. Also, use a larger packet size:

ping -t -l 1460 <ip address>

[j7n]

To determine if the problem is in software configuration or network adapter itself you can install another clean copy of WinXP with only the network driver. Windows should install in different directory called WINDOWS.1 and you may switch back to the previous OS at anytime.

Hi, thanks for your help, I don't have two machines connected, I have one machine (The one with Win98 and VIA Rhine III) the ping works very well <50ms, and the main with WinXP SP2 and a VIA Rhine III and the onboard LAN (Realtek) and in the PC with winxp latency going very bad, 200ms aprox, and I can't found the problem nowhere.

j7n, btw, can u detail me what's your point? I think on installing another WinXP OS by creating another partition on my disc, but I can do this actually? I don't understand too much whats your point, if u can give me a little explanation should be appreciated, thanks!

ADD: attached trace route screenshot by HLSW, see how's internal ips are working well, but when info reach external (server) IP it comes with a lot of ping. btw, another ppl from here with the same ISP as me reports that their connections where working well T_T

I think about a test on a fresh install system with your old hard disk for example, disconnect your actual hdd, plug your old hdd , and reinstall a clean winxp and re-make tests.

[reaperdx]

Uhm I can not install WinXP in my old hdd because it have only 4gb of total space, and it's running Win98 SE, I backed up my files from c:\ to e:\ and now i'm gonna format c: and resintall winxp sp2 again, thx for the help

[j7n]

The point was to have 2 systems working parallel, one clean and another possibly misconfigured. You could tell if complete reinstall would solve the problem. You don't need another partition AFAIK. As I said, from my experience WinXP and Win2k would create directories WINNT.1 and WINNT.2 if directed to the same existing directory WINNT.
