    high ping when gaming

    Hi there,

    I know this seems like quite a trivial problem when compared to some but i need help with it. When i play online games im cosistently getting high ping, ranging from 50-1500 sometimes!!! Im starting to get really frustrated with the lag on the game im playing. I have heard that this could be due to a virus but i have protection. Please help.

    OS: XP
    antivirus/spyware etc: AVG, adaware, windows firewall
    Internet: IE7
    ISP: Virgin
    Router: Netgear WGT624v3

    Thanks

    By chance what game are you playing online? and are you a cable modem or DSL user?
