Unstable Internet Connection

Up until recently, my Verizon FiOS internet has been very stable and speedy. Then I tried applying "tweaks" to increase browser speed and such. I was told to change RWIN, MTU, etc. All those settings tweakable via small applications.

Ever since I did that, my Mozilla browsing has been alot slower, as with downloading. It will DL and then stop for a period of time.

My online applications such as AIM, XFire, mIRC, will all lag me out for a short period of time then I can log back in.

Additionally, when I use Bnet games such as Diablo and Starcraft, I lag out a lot. During Starcraft I visually see my little icon in the task tray saying that I disconnected and that I'm reconnecting to the internet.

Does anyone know what I can do to set my internet back to default or something like that to get it back to normal?

One additional thing: It seems to only be my main computer hooked up to my modem. My wireless laptop has a stable connection - but slower (obviously).

-Windows XP Pro
-I run Kaspersky Anti Virus and numerous anti-spyware progs (ad-aware, spyware blaster, s&d, and spyeraser)
-No problems in the task manager during slow internet performance

(verizon FiOS)

Ok, I typed the commands in, and it told me to reboot, which I immediately did.

I will let you know how my internet functions after this.

Thanks a bunch!

Re: Unstable Internet Connection

Time to search for spyware/malware if it's reverting to the old behavior that often.

I have spyware blaster installed and updated. I run Adaware SE daily, I run and update spybot-SD daily and i also run Kaspersky's Anti-spyware feature a lot and they never find any spyware.

Any other suggestions?

Re: Unstable Internet Connection

Well it found a few spyware, removed them but it's still occurring. I also power cycled my router and that didn't help at all.

Re: Unstable Internet Connection

Hmm... The fact that the stack repair fixes it for a short time is interesting.

Try booting in Safe Mode with Networking, see if that makes a difference.
