I'm on cable and I've been having this problem recently where I seem to be having an abnormally high tcp/ip packet loss.
It seems to happen every 2 mins or so. If I'm playing Wolfenstein ET for example, I'll lose connection for about 10 secs then it resynchs itself.
If I'm connected to a zone gaming room, I'll get disconected every 2 mins as well. If i'm playing a multiplayer game, the whole game will freeze up for about 20 secs and then resume. If i'm surfing web sites, sometimes the page wont load properly...anyways you get the idea.
Any ideas what might be causing this? I called the cable company and they detected the packet loss and are sending a technician out weds, he said they may need to boost the signal or something. I want to believe its on their end, but is there anything on my end which could be the culprit? I tried changing network cards to no effect. I've run the tcp optimizer and checked all my tcp settings at the tcp analyzer @ speedguide and they seem to be ok....
/edit here are my settings:
