Regular drops in wired internet connection
Afternoon all!
I'm having an issue where my internet connection will seemingly drop for a split second, and then reconnect.
For example, I will be signed into IRC and will have a momentary drop in connection which boots me out, and then I will instantly reconnect.
Another example would be when watching a streamed video (Youtube). I will be watching a video and then the buffering would stop, until I manually navigated to a couple of seconds later, and then buffering would continue.
A final example would be in skype, where people are constantly getting connect/disconnect notifications from me.
I've had a go at pinging google (-t) to see if it sheds any light on the frequency of disconnection. It has an average ping of about 35 ms, and will occasionally spike to roughly 130-150 every 7 lines or so. But other than that it has no difficulty pinging at all.
I've tried some suggested quick fixes like restarting the station, restarting/resetting the router, flushing the DNS cache and none of them have solved the issue.
The OS I'm using is Windows 7 Professional (64).
If you need any further technical information as far as specs are concerned, I can post that if it's required.
Any assistance / advice you could provide would be greatly appreciated.
