anyway, when i connect i get very bad ping spikes.. the problem didn't happen at all when i had win98 but after i installed winxp and started cs up is when i noticed it.. also i've heard of other people having the same problem and other people who don't so i don't know what's going on, any ideas would be very much appreciated

i don't want to lose all the stuff on my hdd and waste 100 dollars on win xp so that's not an option..

Try updating your NIC with the latest XP drivers.

i have linksys network cards and from what i could find on the website the drivers they had on there were actually older than the ones i have now.. i have lne100tx i believe if it's of importance

Maybe try another PCI slot?

CS works fine in XP,I would remove QoS from networking tab in properties of your ISP connection,that should improve performance.

no no don't you see i've tried removing both qos and the xp firewall and nothing changed
