As you suggested I did ping and tracerouting using my both cards. The problem was still the same, even after changng my media from 100baseT/utp to 10baseT/utp. At the beggining I suspected wrongly configured shaper on the router. I phoned them few days ago, and got a late response today. Yesterday I changed my ethernet card number. I assigned an old eth. address to my new card, ad gess what. I stardet to work without any packet loss, not at all. ;> In the mean time I was also thinking about some soft which kills every 2nd, 3rd frame. I was wrong. today I got an explanation. My ISP told me that they tried to investigate the problem, and they mainly use DHCP. He also said that DHCP address I got for the first time during my modem configuration had not been refreshed for over a month. Today I configured my network just to use DHCP, I obtained some address and refreshed my ethernet address at the same time. The card is working fine now using my public address. Going back to your question, I am connected via cable modem. My cable TV also ofers an internet access. I use SB4100 Cable modem (motorola) which splits the signal allowing tv and internet on the same cable. They mainly force people to use DHCP, but if someone wants, they may allow public IP as I have. Thanks for the interest and I hope my explanation was clear.
