Windows 7 Network prob with games

[Sacmo]

This issue started yesterday, I feel that there is a network OS prob reason being when i play steam games or unreal tournament, i get packet loss.


I tried troubleshooting it by bypassing router and contacting the isp, and they said nothing they could see, but I feel there is some kind a packet loss going on in the game, seems like every 30 or 60 secs i get a 1 sec lag spike.


I feel i pinpointed it down to something in the network settings in win 7 just dont know where to start, can anyone offer any advice ?

I've been doing a ton of research on this and you are correct, it's a Win 7 issue (also in Vista 64 and XP Pro 64, apparently). See my post here for some information:

We may have to purchase a different wireless card, but it's definitely a Windows "feature" that I feel is unwanted. Doesn't sound like Microsoft is interested in listening to us users about a fix though.
