And a few days ago I started lagging.

didn't work.
And I stopped all other programs (Like torrent or something)
Can someone help me plz?

Connection problems, my favourite.
Well, it can be caused almost by anything.
Firstly I would like to know that are there any other people who use your connection. Also it would be nice to know the speed of your connection, so then it is easier to know that does even the smallest problems make your connection lag.

I can give couple of tips for now. I assume you have Windows 7 at least. If so then press Windows button and enter this on the search: "cmd.exe". When you get there, put this in it:

Code: Select all: ping "provider's IP" -n "the number of packets you want to test"

Here is an example (sorry it is in Finnish but I can translate if necessary):

The meaning of the yellow box, is to show the results and the actual ping of your connection.
Rex box is what I typed to show my ping.

In my opinion this way works better than pingest.net or speedtest.net. You can decide yourself how many packets you want to test. In my example I tried 10 and as you can see my connection sucks horribly.

But in my connection's case the reason why I have such a bad ping average (normally it supposed to be 22) is that my brother uses webcamera to chat with some people. It really blocks the whole connection and makes it unstable.

Also possible things which could make your connection lag are possible viruses, some program which uses connection (Steam, Xfire, Skype and etc.).

There are dozens of possibilities. If your connection is fine but ET lags, then problem is in ET or something else. It can be anything.

So I do not know was I the best possible help for you but at least give some information of connection speed.

Here is some information from the IP from my standard gateway:

Don't know you can help me.
I have a good virusscan, I scan everyday.
And got no Programs running that use connection (but I will doublecheck that)
(Note: don't have much experience with connection stuff)

Well it seems to look fine, you can even confirm from speedtest.net and pingtest.net that you have a right connection speed as supposed. It could be something related to ET. Could I also ask you that when did this problem start? Did you change anything in your computer lately? Or have you had these kind of problems before?

Good tool to disable all progz that could have influence on your ping.

Maybe this can help you :lol:
