Internet problem

I am having a small problem with my internet when I play any online game. I play WOW, Age of Conan, C&C . When I am playing online my latency jumps from 150(very good) to 3500(very bad) which causes nasty lag. I can log into WOW with my old computer, which is a Dell Dimension 3000, and WOW runs fine( latency is about 180 consistently) and no lag. I also have been experiencing some problems with loading videos and some web pages, again I do not have any of these problems with my old computer. I really do not want to call Dells tech support because I have dealt with them before with no solution coming out of it. Any help would be much appreciated.

Have you scanned for spyware or a virus?

I would run adaware first and see what that finds....

I would reinstall your network driver to see if that is causing it. Of cource it could be Windows causing it as well.

 

By the way, are you running Vista or XP?
