As i have found out over the last 6 months of having this macbook pro, there are a lot of people, that have network issues.
I have been googling and searching on and off for months without an anwser to my problem.
The problem i am having is rather strange, i can be playing a online game, say wow or eve online, and running either game in window mode, when i sometimes get bored and switch to another space window, and browse the net a bit.
here comes the problem, the webpages will timeout or freezz, when loading, this is happning at random random times, the game i am playing i can still keep playing without trouble, if i am streaming music or video, from a radio site or youtube, they will continue to load and play, if they where in the in the middle of downloading the information that is, but opning a new page, or pressing another link, will timeout or take a min or two before something happens.
I have an early 09 macbook pro 17", 2.66ghz , 4gb ram, 320gb hd. running os x 10.5.8
I bought an Airport express, cause i thought it was a wireless issue, but i have a 2 other computers including a playstation 3, connected to the same network, and they have no problems
if i run network utility, the using the ping tool, the time=xxxx, will jump from 3.xxx ms to 6.xxx ms,
the strange this is, when the webpages wont load, the ping stops, and a few sec later and the ping dose not look any worse.
now if i start up windows 7, using virtual box, and do a ping from command promt, the ms count are strange, going from an avarage of 5-6ms, to 500ms.
using another computer, over the same connection, the wireless ping times dont cross 25ms.
Under network utility, with the info tab, the information for the current network connection, seams to disapere and drop, everything dissaperes in the interface information and transfer statistics windows, but not the ip adress, the hardware adress evean disaperes.
I have any of you heard of this strange problem.
