I've recently installed win7 Pro 64 bit, and it runs Cod2 very well, with one problem. My usual ping of around 70 on a favorite server now jumps around from 60 up to 150. It doesn't seem stable. I've checked all the usual things. I"ve run it in Xp mode, I"ve run it as Admin, I've run straight through the modem without the router...checked other forums and played with the settings, but need some personal experiences here.

any ideas on how to stabilize my ping?

...thanks....Poet

Strange that you did a direct connect to your modem and still have fluctuation in ping . Ill check about and see if i can find anything , have not installed cod 2 yet but cod 4 is stable ping , fps ect...

What AV you using check this out :
I had what I think was exactly the same issue. When uploading content over HTTP, using either a web browser to YouTube or Dropbox client to Dropbox's Amazon EC2 servers, I experienced:

long ping times (1500-3000ms)
packet loss
massive corresponding net traffic usage (1MB file took about 100MB to upload)

I traced the problem to a security feature on ESET's NOD32 v4.0.467.0 for Windows 7. I can confirm that unchecking "Enable HTTP checking" in "Advanced Setup -> Web access protection -> HTTP, HTTPS" pretty much sorts the problem out. I've blogged about it here:

Solution: Open NOD32 "Advanced setup" from the quicktray menu. Uncheck "Enable HTTP checking" in "Web access protection -> HTTP, HTTPS".
In summary this was a horrible problem and it took many hours to resolve. It all comes down to the integration between software components. A feature in ESET's NOD32, which was designed to protect me from viri ended up behaving like a virus and wasting GB of net traffic, conflicted with Windows 7 and was triggered by legitimate behaviour in Dropbox. No one party will take responsibility, though I wish ESET would.

Son of a 'B'....I"ll have to check that out, since I"m using Nod32...thanks bro

If your using Nod 32 sounds like its whats borking your ping
