My cable modem has been really wierd recently. Here is the setup, to start with:
Blueyonder broadband connection to a motorola surfboard SB4200 cable modem.
Netgear RP114 router w/ 4port switch
then 3 computers connected directly to that, and another 3 via a hub.
This setup worked fine to start with, for a couple of weeks, then we started experiencing temporary losses of connectivity, which have increased in frequency. Also, CS, which started fine, with nice low pings has now become totally unplayable, with pings averaging around 600ms.
The strange part is, that Kazaa, msn messanger and irc work all the time.
I have the latest firmware for the router.
====================================
i thought it might be a DNS problem, but i dont think so anymore as that would not affect the CS ping, and also when i put in a numeric address, instead of something like
www.google.com, it still doesnt work.
There is definitel no problem on the LAN side of the router, the latency there is always 1ms.
Any help anyone can shed on this will be gladly received.
