Network Issue, Vista vs XP
------------------------------------------
Since i assembled this PC back in May, i have had issues with the Realtek 8111DL.
While I use the game World of Warcraft as a huge testing of connection, i have used other common tests.
Pings & tracerts to google, yahoo, comcast. Also used my routers ping tool to verify it is not my router.
With 5 other computers and a laptop hooked to same network, the problem resides with this system.
While Vistaâ„¢ Ultimate 64bit is running, I appear to DL files such as drivers with no problem. Webpages are a little slow but close to normal.
Doing a ping from computer to router or from router to computer will show 5-15% packet loss.
Connecting to WoW will give me a 1200-5000+ latency and drop me within minutes.
Doing a ping to the WoW server (Ravenholdt 69.174.119.74) will show latency 80-120
** Odd to see such a huge difference in latency from what cmd line ping shows and in game shows
By switching 'Speed & Duplex' to 100 Mbps Full Duplex, all ping & tracerts show the same but connection to WoW becomes stable at 220-340 latency
Using F12 to boot from XP, I have 0 packet loss anywhere, my ping to wow is almost a perfect 83 and my latency in WoW is 165-190
I just ran XP for 20 days without a single problem or difference in latency.
Booting Vista still has all the problems. I would not mind keeping it forced to 100 Mbps but the latency is still almost double that of XP.
-------------------------------------------
Tests over the last 5 months
-------------------------------------------
netstat (verify network connections and retrieve IPs)
ping www.google.com -n 100
ping www.yahoo.com -n 100
ping www.comcast.net -n 100
ping 69.174.119.74 -n 100 (WoW Ravenholdt Server)
Ping tests were followed by: tracert xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx to find any other possible routing problem.
Reapply firmware 1.7 to Dlink router, recently updated firmware to 1.9
Ping tests from router to all home computers and ping tests from all computers to router. In both firmware versions.
(only packet loss on this system while running Vista, no loss while booted in XP, no loss in any other home computer)
While no loss in XP or from any other home computer, i have swapped Cat5e cords around and even replaced.
I check for windows and drivers updates every weekend. ATI, AMD, Gigabyte( & utilities), Realtek, etc.
For what i assume is still a common error in Vista, (teredo tunneling pseudo-interface code 10) it has been disabled and uninstalled.
MB bios has been updated twice and is currently at F7b.
The only conclusion i have at this point is it must be Vista drivers or added functionality in Vista that i can not pinpoint to modify or disable.
I posted under Gigabyte and not drivers as i hope someone can tell me if its settings i need to customize from its default settings.
Bios settings specific to Vista or 64-bit OS?
Vista Realtek default setting need to be customized?
Vista or 64-bit OS use more resources on MB that could interfer???
I would be amazed if Gigabyte & Realtek never developed a fully stable version for Vista 64 by now.
