Hi, I'm new here. and for the passed few weeks i have been getting huge packet loss on all my programs.

on Teamspeak i've been recieving upto 75%

and on Battlefield 2 i keep getting kicked for packet loss were as on Company of Heroes I just can't connect!

I'm really stuffed on how to fix it.

I have a Netgear DGB34G v3 Router. and i've got 8mb Broadband. I'm using Windows Firewall...but i have tried Zone Alarm and still no help. any ideass?

Kind Regards Luke.

It's often a failure of your ISP connection. I assume you have a cable service. You can presumably check your signal levels on the cable modem. You can raise a ticket with your ISP and harp at them until you get what you pay for.

Your MTU might be too high resulting in packet loss. Try this and see if it fixes it.
Finding your max mtu- open command prompt and ping google with command
ping -f -l 1402 www.google.com

1402 is packet size. If you get even 25% loss, lower the packet size by 1 (1401) untill 0% loss.
or you could try something higher if 1402 has 0% loss.
Lets say best packet is 1400, then (1400 + 28= 1428)
Your MTU would be 1428

Now calculate your RWIN-
(MTU - 40)

MTU = 1428 - 40 = 1388
20 x 1388 = 27760
RWIN is 27760
MTU is 1428

Now download Dr.TCP heres the link http://www.dslreports.com/front/DRTCP021.exe

Settings for Dr.TCP

Tcp recieve window- (222400) or (27760) whatever is best for u
windows scaling- (yes)
Time stamping- (no)
selective Acks- (yes)
Dial up ras mtu- (your MTU here)
path MTU discovery- (yes)
black hole detection- (default)
max duplicate ACKs- (2)
TTL- (64)
MTU- (your mtu again)

under adapter settings select you ethernet card. Save and reboot.
Also change your MTU in your router setting. Go through you configure page, you cant miss it.

I changed mine not because of packet loss, i wanted a boost in speed. i gained 0.6mb gain from doing this. Have a go and see if it helps any.
Sorry for the long post, i'm fooking bored

I think I've found it's something to do with ports or something?...

I have this program called 'active ports' this may help some of you with seeings whats up with a particular game of mine that doesn't seem to connect to other players/ip's

A port's either open or it's not. It isn't going to give you partial packet loss.

What did your cable modem diagnostics look like?
