im having problem with my network, the ping (in games) are going up to 900 sometimes more.
(im not runing any programs in the backround)

Ping statistics for 8.8.8.8:
Packets: Sent = 397, Received = 397, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 61ms, Maximum = 617ms, Average = 110ms

Not enough info to solve the issue.

Ping is a measure of how long it takes a packet to leave your PC, bounce off the destination, and return to you.

This includes the time it spends in: your internal network stack, travel to your router, the router to move it from the LAN to WAN, through yor ISP to a higher level network provider, to swich high level providers (if necessary), to the server/destination (including through their ISP).

In game pings are oten worse if the server on the other end is overloaded with requests. I have seen many times where a 4am in game ping will be ~90ms yet if you try to play at 8pm the ping will be several times that (or be so laggy as unplayable), while at both times pinging something else like www.google.com would be about the same.

http://winmtr.net/ has a nice tool to do trace routes and show you pings to each hop, assuming the hops respond.

You need to find out which hop is increasing your latency a bunch.

So does tracert (command line command)

tracert www.google.com (or wherever)

But this will not show increased latency if the issue is the game server on the other end.

OP where is 8.8.8.8? something seems weird about that address and I can't quite put my finger on why.
