Strange and irritating internet problem

Hi

Today I've installed Windows 7 64bit on my Macbook Pro and the internet connection is acting very strangely. The ping jumps from 3000ms to 18ms in seconds yet Windows shows that the connection is stable. Sometimes it doesn't want to connect at all whilst Windows keeps showing that the connection is stable and strong. I have 3 computers connected to this network and they are working fine. In fact if I switch to the Mac os the internet is working fine. This is a clean Windows installation (using BootCamp) so it does not have any programs, apart from Google Chrome.
I have installed Windows before on this mac and it was fine then.
I am using WiFi.

Please help me out here.
 
Are you using the latest driver? We really can't help much since you have a windows OS on an apple. I'm not sure if they have allowed that to be legal yet.
 
Hi, thanks for the response.

Your solution has helped and everything was going fine for the first few hours but the problem came back. However now instead of having lag spikes the computer looses the connection for 30s every couple minutes. Windows says that it's connected to the network but there's no internet access. All whilst my other laptop is having no problem while connected to the same network
 
Turn your router off, wait 2 minutes and turn it back on. restart your computer and update windows entirely.
 
Please download and install PC Wizard from my sig. Run it and go to FILE, SAVE AS and click OK. Copy the text out of that file into this thread.
 
I tried to follow the link you said but i get stuck in the guide at the last point.
Could you help me out? Im not so good in DOS
 
I'm new here...but i think that using VMware for running windows on mac is a better way... my best friend uses it and he doesn't have any problem with the Internet

That doesn't fix the issue at hand. And even if you run VMware you will have no Internet since the host doesn't have Internet.
