problems
 

hi guys im new to the forum, just googled ntl problems and here i am.. :mad:
anyways my problem is that since yesterday whenever two pcs are doing something on the internet (playing games/surfing/xbox live) at the same time then the internet totally freaks out. Basically if both of us are in a game we get 500pings and lag out or if one person is surfing and the other is in game we totally lag out. I was wondering if anyone can help because i know virgin wont help me as im using a router. I have also tried 2 different routers so thats not the problem.

Thanks in advance, Dan.

:welcome: to the site.

Has it always been like this since you put two PC's onto the connection or has it just started?

never happened in the 8years ive had broadband until yesterday and ive always had 3pcs on the network

Re: problems
 

what IP Address's do they both have ?? just in case they have got the same IP addy using DHCP when the routers were swapped.

On the Pc's try a repair on the network card and see if it helps :)

Sounds like a standard situation nowadays danburb, it's the same for me.
It's only half decent when the kids have gone to bed, and I mean half decent.
I've just been on a server for the last hour and a half and it was poor, pings spiking to 500, and all the other bad stuff associated with poor game experience.
