This is really my last resort post having tried everything I can think of.
We are running a LAN via an NTL broadband connection and router. Over the last few months we have been getting lag spikes which have recently become LD's. When it happens all the computers on the network go at the same time - but it is very brief, long enough to ld but then it's up again right after. Sometimes it can be 2 or 3 hours before it happens sometimes it can happen every few minutes, no pattern to it at all.
We've bought a new (different make/model ) router, had the cable modem replaced and changed all the ethernet cables.
When we connect directly to the cable modem the problem disappears, similarly when we connect the modem via the USB connection to a laptop and then use that to connect the rest of the network the problem disappears.
So there is something happening when we use the ethernet connection on the cable modem and a router.
I'd welcome any suggestions of things to try to fix it because using my high spec laptop as a server isnt really a long-term option
