My network topology is clear..or the concept of...as well as other network ideas, but im having a problem with something that i dont know much about.
Last night, and now tonight, i have had major latency issues no matter where i go on the net, and when i try to play like BF2 online, i get pings of 800 and up. I usually ping around 25-30.
Anywho, i have nothing open, as little services running as possible,and nothing showing in task manager, yet i still lag terribly. It was last night, so i just left it, today around noon i played bf2 online for an hour or so, and did some web browsing this evening. I got home about 8, hopped online, and the lag is back.
Netstat shows anywhere from 20 - around 70 tcp and upds open????? I will do a netstat -a in cmd, and get like 70, do it 2 min later get 20, and kinda goes back and forth. The only filesharing program i use is bt, and from what i can tell, its totally disabled at the moment.
Im running norton internet security, and despite what some people may think, it picks up everything, and its not alerting me of anything.
I run several ad ware checking programs weekly, if not daily some times, and have an up to date antivirus.
Im running Windows XP 5.1.2600 Service pack 2 Build 2600
I am behind a netgear prosafe router, with no problems their, as far as i can tell.
Any network gurus have any ideas.
The only thing i can think of, is someone slipped something in, i dont know when or how, and has a BD and is using me as a dump, or a ddos bot, but my system all together isnt really laggin, so that doesnt make much sense. Or that there is something up with my isp, which they deny any work being done, or any problems with the service. I have a 3meg cable connection, and speakeasys speed tests, as well as charter, and toast, all show anywhere from 40ks to 120ks, when i usually hit upper 300's.
Any guesses.
Thanks
