Why do I have 100% packet loss??

Didja run the SpeedGuide.net "TCP/IP Analyzer" and the "TCP/IP Optimizer" that's in the left-hand column of the SG Home Page !??
I've found them both to be very useful, since if the TCP/IP window is too small OR too large, the stuff won't flow through there properly (slow connection speeds, high latency, high jitter, and the resulting packet loss).

Also, you may wanna do a "Line Quality Test" such as the one at OOKLA (a free demo) -- it tests for firewall protection, latency, jitter, and both upload and download speeds -- and gives the results on each test category.

For wired connections capable of Gigabit speeds, be sure that your Ethernet Cable is of "Category 6" (CAT 6) specification.

I use "matched" wireless components to connect my 2 DELL PCs -- D-Link DIR-655 XtremeN Gigabit Router and D-Link DWA-552 XtremeN Desktop Adapter. The DWA-552 adapter is fitted with a 3-pole, 15db Rosewill antenna, which gives a slightly "cleaner" signal, but NOT much connection speed or throughput improvement.
The Toshiba 17" Laptop is connected to my network with a Netgear WPN 111T wireless "g" adapter, which is backward-compatible with the ExtremeN
router.
And, if you have a Cable Modem but you do NOT have the new DOCSIS 3 technology (such as found in the Motorola SB6120), your modem is freakin' obsolete, and you have absolutely NO IDEA of how much speed is being left behind.
Tweaked to the max, I was only able to coax 33 Mbps (wired connection) out of the "old" Motorola SB5120 as a "best" reading ever.
Since installing the new SB6120, my best download speed (at the same test site) has been 90 (yes, that's NINETY!) Mbps down -- and the upload speed varies from 3.5 to 7 Mbps.
This increase in download speeds was made with JUST the addition of the Motorola SB6120 -- with NO INCREASE in my cable service "package", or in my monthly bill.
Despite rumors (and some pretty strong statements by "knowledgeable" people) to the contrary, you do NOT have to pay your cable company a penny in order to get speeds that are well in excess of what you're paying for.
Just buy your SB6120 on-line, and call your Cable ISP to give them the MAC Addy -- you'll be crazy-fast in just a few minutes !!!!
Good luck !!
