I have bad ping, any way to lower it at all?

I get free internet because of my dad's work, so we can't really change ISP's. Anyways, I have tried to play Cod2 and BF2142 online on my computer, which can run them fine, trust me, the computer's not the problem. I have ping like in the 300's on these games and it makes them basically unplayable. What's wierd, thought, is that on my XBox 360 (xbox live), my experience is almost always butter smooth. I was wondering if the games on my computer are to blame?

So if there is any way to help your ping, would someone give me some tips?

Thanks ;)

try shutting down the icons in the tray near the clock, also you should press ctrl alt del and check your processes, anything that seems useless ex: toolbars just stop them and try not running to much internet traffic ex: limewire, downloads and such.

Hope that helps:)

Make sure you disconnect any additional computers connected to the internet on your home network. This will raise your ping big time.

Ya and try to get a wired connection to the internet at you dad's work hope that helps.

buy an KillerNIC card, jk

try playing in servers located near you and dont download or upload anything while playing

Try disabling the Background Intelligent Transfer Service:

GotoStart>ControlPanel>PerformanceandMaintenance>AdministrativeTools>Services

Scrolldown until you find Background Intelligent Transfer Service, and hit the Stop button up top.
