1- I have rebooted it and have turned it off for 30 seconds.So what if your net is 16mb? The line speed does not have anything to do with the ping at all, i could get 20 ping on dialup. Ping depends on how far away you are from the server,
1. reboot your router.
2. reboot your PC
3. make sure all cables are in properly
4. make sure one of the cables are damaged or have knots in them.
5. make sure one of the cables are longer than 2 meters.
Pinging Google ain't a use, already said, it's how far you are from the server.
No, ping problems aren't caused by distance to server only >.> Basic internet knowledge.
Basic internet knowledge is also that to get to one server you first go (or "hop") through 30 or more other servers. Hence why the distance of each of them to you is relevant. More distance = higher ping and they may have bad/inferior cabling which would introduce more line noise which also increases ping.
As i said, it can be caused by anything. But to run some troubleshooting tests to make sure it isn't your hardware, ping the following:
127.0.0.1
Your LAN IP
Your gateway's IP
Another LAN computer if you have o ne
If all of them come out fine then it is not a problem with your hardware and hence you cannot do anything about it.
