PC / Networking peeps:

[SinkRox]

Our internet connection has been extremely crap lately, and im woundering if this has something to do with it...

when I run netstat i get 8 connections, where they are going out from my comp and back into my comp (ip add).... what the hell is that about!?!?

eg:

proto  local add         forieng add             state             
TCP    chris:1025       chris:1030              established
TCP    chris:1030       chris:1025              established

any ideas?

This really needs fixing, Ive been getting timed out so much lately its rediculous... including someone betting into me at the river when I have the nuts, someone re-raising me at flop when I have trip J's.. then wahay it times out

I don't know what netstat is supposed to accomplish, but don't overcomplicate things here. Start from the ground up.

Do you have DSL or cable?
Have you unplugged your modem for 5-10 mins lately? Do you do that once a month?
If you use a router, unplug both it and the modem. Then plug modem in after 5 mins and let it get setup. Then plug in router and let it setup. Try connection now.

Im a network peep(CCNA), heres what i would do:

Windows netstat program is pretty bad, it dosent tell you which program is keeping those ports open. You shud try something better like http://www.diamondcs.com.au/openports/ (check the screenshot http://www.diamondcs.com.au/openport...ge=screenshots )

check that 1025 thats a common trojan port:

1025 tcp listen listener RFS remote_file_sharing
1025 tcp shoppro ShopPro accounting software
1025 tcp FraggleRock [trojan] Fraggle Rock
1025 tcp md5Backdoor [trojan] md5 Backdoor
1025 tcp NetSpy [trojan] NetSpy
1025 tcp RemoteStorm [trojan] Remote Storm
1025 udp RemoteStorm [trojan] Remote Storm


Also if you get those time outs often, keep a command prompt open, and when you think you are timing out again type in " tracert www.google.com" or "www.yourpokernetwork.com", and see if the problem is in your computer/network/ISP or is the poker network having problems.

cheers guys, I did unplug the router and modem to restart the, (but at the same time) will try rebooting them again with plugging modem back in first.

I dont think its a virus as have updated and scanned.

i used a TCP viewer program thing and got the following results, dunno if anyone can make anything of it?

sweet heres the output, ive left it running all day and its stayed the same with same connections...

When right click > properties, heres the process info I get:

alg.exe = Application Gateway Service
CAVtray.exe = CA anti virus system tray
iSafe = eTrust EZ Antivirus\ISafe.exe
MMPoker = ladbrokesMPP\MPPoker.exe (poker client)
svchost = Generic Host Service for Win 32 Service (C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe)
System 4: unable to query process
VetMsg: eTrust EZ Antivirus\VetMsg.exe


After analysing them all they all seem pretty normal / fine? I saw the system 4 process on a screenshot of the software so I assume thats OK. Cheers for looking into this with me

hmm i ran a tracert on my pokerroom and it done something quite odd:

[arkana]

Windows netstat program is pretty bad, it dosent tell you which program is keeping those ports open.
HTH

netstat -b

netstat -b

Thx for the info, looks like Microsoft added that in XP SP2. (Im still using W2k)

hmm i ran a tracert on my PokerRoom and it done something quite odd:

Usually it means the 13th router is dropping icmp echo reguest(security/bandwidth issue). If that screenshot was taken when your poker client was lagging, then i dont think theres anything you can do about it. Delay is low, no packet loss, problem might be somewhere between your isp <=> poker site.
