new comp. amd64. winXP (not service pack2). using the networkcard from my old computer to connect to internet. realtek RTL8139 Family.

since i got it i have had problems with internet. the first day, i could surf and ping (irc/daoc) fine for xx minutes before it got all fugged up. restarted comp, did "ping www.google.com -t". for the first 10-15 minutes it passed without any timeouts. then it started with 1... then 2... then many, and after a while only connection timeouts. this meant that whenever i had a connection timeout, i couldnt surf, connect to irc, or daoc. this i have no idea what the problem is.

today however. i can surf fine it seems, but i can't ping anything, nor connect to irc/daoc.

i will be updating this with whatever info you might need, so please... help

Try turning off hardware checksumming in the properties of your network card.

Try turning off hardware checksumming in the properties of your network card.

Thanks for the reply, but i can't seem to find that option. The only properties i can change are these 3:

Connection Type: Auto-Negotiation
Network Address: Not avaliable
Recieve Buffers: 64

On the networkcard i use for LAN (D-Link DFE-530TX) there are a few more options, but not anything similar to that ..

it seems i have the same problem as chilly: https://forums.freddyshouse.com/showthread.php?t=38227

the differance is that i never touched zonealarm. the one thing i have touched is service pack 2 for winXP. however, after installing it i got networking/internet problems straight away with it's windows firewall, so in order to 'uninstall' it i did a "system-reset" do a point before the SP2 was installed.

could it be that some services from SP2 still are active? hence blocking connection attempts for programs as irc/daoc etcetera..
