Weirdly high ping on direct ethernet connection?
- by Antriel
I bought new Lenovo IdeaCentre H430 pc and I'm having problem with high pings.
Windows 7 with on-board realtek NIC. Fresh install, fully updated, drivers installed from included CD.
When I start pinging router (direct 1Gb ethernet connection, 1 hop), pings start at <1ms (which is fine) and after a while they jump to 300-1000ms.
I loaded up live ubuntu to test if the problem might be in HW. It's not, in ubuntu pings were always <1ms.
I also noticed that when I start using connection somehow, pings go down to 1ms, but go back up when I stop using it (tested by accessing live camera feed on LAN).
Power Options set to max performance.
I disabled Interrupt Moderation on the NIC, didn't help.
I tested it in the safe mode with networking, same problem there.
It slows down our client-server based programs and I have no idea what's causing it. All I could google up was that disabling Interrupt Moderation would help, it didn't though. Anyone had similar problems?
tl;nr: Computer is giving high pings to router when idle and normal pings when network is under load, it slows down our software significantly.
