network stutters

every once and a while when i go and try to browse the internet i have to wait a few min to use it, i mean it says it loads then fails then i press refresh and it works, also in games i play online i stutter, wat i mean is my ping is low however, every few sec or min my screen will just freeze network wise not fps wise, the ppl are moving but in place as in my network doesnt no what to do with them u no what i mean? how can i fix it i have been using one of these for about 3 years now and it works great and has worked fine in other builds. it doestn require drivers except my ethernet port drivers which 7 installs or has i mean automatically

ive used ubuntu also opn this pc and it dont stutter whatsoever, it only started to happen with the rc 64bit fyi.

this adapter doesnt require drivers, it pl7ugs into the etherent port and acts like a wired connection, so if anythings wrong it would be my ethernet port drivers which are fine

just tried with another adapter and same thing, this time it was a pci card and w7 found drivers instantly so i thought great, so i tried a game and same thing it stutters, also its not my network cause i have 2 other pcs that can play lag free just fine, so i think its the rc thats doing this cause 7077 worked perfectly fine

I had that same adapter. Swtich to the Apple Time Capsule. Haven't had a problem since I switched :)

Normally I don't advertise Mac stuff, but this is a really good product.

From your description, you're having a network issue between your cable or dsl company and your router. Network issues in Windows do not exhibit that behavior. Boot into another OS for a while and see what I mean.

dont be too sure here baarod. my example: this cheapie belkin G adapter crapped out alot in the 7k beta, now in 7100 it seems to "stabilize" a bit better. This happened more often than not under a "heavy load"... router is fine, and modem is fine, lappy doesnt have this problem on the network with the built-in. Tho i am only on day 3 of this, so more to come i'm sure. but so far, there seems to be some improvement in this area. Tho its not been perfect mind you. A few times it lost connection, but i didnt have to go jumping thru hoops to get it back connected, sometimes that involved a reboot. It seems to "fix itself" better now if/when this happens in my case.

slyr114, if you did an upgrade, this could be your problem. Secondly, try assigning a static IP to the adapter if you havent already. Also you can try switching channels, try 1 or 11 instead of 6 or 7. Depending on other electronics in the area, this could be an issue. Also any fluorescent lighting. There's a start anyhow.
