When I woke up this morning, all the PCs on my network were incredibly slow. Every website I ping comes back with maybe one time and two Request Timed Out errors. Some sites will not even work because of this.

The funny thing is all the laptops using wireless work fine.

I'm using a wireless Netgear router linked up to a cable modem, with fixed IPs on all my machines (3 PCs, 1 Xbox, 2 laptops). This setup has worked fine for nearly two years and only today had this problem.

I've unplugged/reset both the modem and the router. I can ping the router without any errors from the PCs. For the life of me I can't figure out the problem short of some physical hardware failure. But please let me know if there is a software solution I'm overlooking. Thanks!

How many 'wired' machines are on the network?

Have you done a loopback (ping 127.0.0.1) on the slow machines, making note of the response time?

 

[DaveH]

The three PCs and the XBox use up all the ports on the router.

Yep, the response time is fine/normal.

And all of the 'wired' connections are slow?

 

[DaveH]

Yep. Thanks for your help anyways. Everything is running fine now for no apparent reason.
