HELP with tcp/ip nightmare!!

[Guest_imported]

Hi,

Recently my internet connection has been really slow, but in a weird way. Im getting fine data transferr speeds, they just arn't constant. When i play counterstrike and turn on netgraph the speeds flicker between nothing and fast. I installed a new isp a while ago and it said my internet connection is sharing the same protocol as my File And Printer sharing, so i removed and uninstalled my network card (which disabled file and printer sahring.. or at least it's unticked now) and removed all unnecassary items in network configuration. Things where fine and back to normal, but today the problem has returned. Can anyone help?

Thankyou,
Alex

Not sure what you mean by installed ISP. ISP means Internet Service Provider, which could be your problem. If you are having your slowdowns during peak hours on the Internet, I would be calling your ISP, because your ISP may be having a bottleneck or traffic problem on their switch, which will slow you down. So many networking folks like ourselves look at our own networks as the problem, when it's the service provider that is causing the problem. I have T1 lines and I do have slow connections once in a while, this is when I am on the phone with the T1 provider requesting testing from their end to see what's up. I may be off base, but I would call your ISP and ask them to do some testing from their end. Good luck.
