I would take a look at all this stuff, sounds like some type on interference for sure. Alot of people i deal with in apartments with wireless have trouble because of stuff neighbors have.

I connected the port up to the router and the lost packet problem has vanished - so its definitely the wireless card.

Thing is, now i have a 10m wire trailing through my house. Now that i know its the wireless card, is there any way to fix this? Or is this a common flaw with wireless technology?

Many thanks to everyone

When it was happening to me it was a driver problem. So just play about with drivers until you find one that it likes.

Hi, and thank you to everyone for your input

Just to clarify a few points:-

I live in a detached house built within the last 30 years, the information from my wireless card and the router will need to pass through one plasterboard. The distance between the two devices is around 9 meters.

When i search for available wireless networks, i pickup only my own and my direct next door neighbor, so i doubt its interference of that sort.

I don't own a microwave - pretty much grill everything

I have managed to get hold of 2 wireless usb dongles, however due to the nature of these devices they rarely provide driver support for XP 64bit - so unless i install another 32bit OS i can't test. I suppose i could partition and test - is this the way to go?

The drivers i have are the latest available:-
Asus wireless card - 3.100.64.0 15/03/2005
Nvidia GFX card - 6.14.118618 10/06/2009

I would like to mention again that the packet loss only happens when the GFX card is working above 50% of its potential. All other times there is no packet loss and ping response to the router is less than 1ms.

I would start with reinstalling drivers then escalate to reinstalling the os for a few reasons(but thats me). I would try this card in another PC alone, then with GPU if possible in the same location as the pc you have now and see what happens.

Are you on the same wireless channel as your neighbor?

EDIT: Or at least 5 channels in either direction of your neighbor?
