Hey all

I have a slightly bizarre problem and just cannot fathom it out. I have a Netgear WGT624 router and a couple of Netgear 108 meg pci cards. Whenever I use Chariot to test throughput, everything works fine and I get decent throughput but it drops to practically zero every 60 seconds for 1 or 2 seconds then zooms back up again.

It happens all the time every time and I cannot find out what on earth causing this. Something must be interfering / boradcasting or it could be the router but I can find no one else with this problem. Sound familiar to anyone?

Cheers
K
