Also replace your Ethernet cables I believe PC World have a pack of Two Belkin CAT5E cables for £4.99.

The onboard NIC has never been used before, and the mobo is only 6 months old, it's an ASUS with 2x1GB lan ports, i always liked using the 3rd party NIC as i feel using onboard stuff can cause a lot of problems. I've also used a new patch cable from the router to the PC and shall run it tonight.
It's mainly when i'm gaming i'm getting issues or around peak periods i.e sundays or evenings.
Failing that i shall buy a new NIC because as you say thet are peanuts !
Many thanks for looking into this, i live in Herts in the SG1 Area if that helps.
