Nethya Emor Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Recently I bought new motherboard and processor (new network card too) and since then I have been having some trouble with Second Life ping and long movement delay. The new motherboard is ASRock Z77 Pro 4, Network card is Realtek PCIe GBE Family controller. (In case that might help).When I got the motherboard some FastLan installed with it but I have turned it off. Now I am curious what do I need to change to fix my 1500-2500 ping which is happening too often? Movement sometimes delays for 1-3s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bree Giffen Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Have you upgraded/installed all your drivers for the new motherboard/network card? I would check the manufacturer's websites for any newer updates to the drivers provided with the hardware. You mentioned a separate network card. Does the motherboard have a built in network card too? You could try installing drivers for it and plugging your cable into that to test if it runs any better.

Cincia Singh Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 That mobo has onboard nic, try using it rather than the ePCI nic card and see if that helps. Also, have you cycled your modem and router? Are you sure you don't need FastLan for your nic card? Maybe read the documentation that came with the nic and mobo.

Nalates Urriah Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 How you are measuring PING may be making a difference too. If you use the viewer's stats, it is dependent on the viewer and server. Use your OS's ping to check the network.

Nova Convair Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 If you really get that ping of your new board then 4 possibilities come to my mind: 1 - wrong/outdated drivers for your network card 2 - network card defective 3 - you use a 1000mBit network connection but your network cable is in no way able to handle that speed. 4 - network cable defective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nethya Emor Posted October 14, 2012 Author Share Posted October 14, 2012 Thanks for all the replies! First I went to the motherboard's website and installed everything from there so I hope it will all run smooth (FastLAN as well, despite it having a icon in the bar all the time). Also the network card is integrated on motherboard. The ping I did check in Second Life since my movement was delayed for 1-3 seconds, just imagine someone walking completely randomly and bumping into everything and unable to turn properly! At the moment I don't see ping so high, but it tends to come in spikes that last 1-60 minutes I guess? Will reply again if it keeps happening again, my last mobo had no such issues.

WolfBaginski Bearsfoot Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 If you're still having problems, let us know the OS version you're using. I only ask because I noticed a big improvement in networking when I upgraded from Windows XP to Windows 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tryad Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 The MB nor the NIC has anything to do with ping times that hig. See what it is to your router and to the 2cnd hop to the internet gateway. Again after that, its the Internet and nothing you can hdo. The MB are you kidding? Triad, CEO Tiberious Data Mining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
