The outrageous ping when you first connect is usually caused by your graphix card. This generally only happens when you connect directly from outside the game (ie: through xfire or the steam servers list). Once your video card catches up the ping dies back down. If you alt-tab back and forth the same thing will probably happen as well.

Choke can be caused by your graphix card as well, if it can't handle the high settings you put it on. From what I remember of trying to help possum before it's more a case of strange things going on. If you're running Vista tho, I wouldn't be surprised, but I doubt that's the case.

Often the routing tables get changed every once in a while anyways, so keep trying. One day it might just magically start working properly again.
