==================================================

This is to a server called "Recoil" in New Zealand, It's hosted by Xnet - where I should be getting 10-30 ping in game, but as a minimum I get 80-130.

I have read around the threads and seen other having the same problem(s), I've turned WLAN off as I have wireless internet, which is usually quite good in my town for gaming etc, as my friends etc. have it.
I have also removed "MSCC" or whatever it was in the registry, but still no problems/change.

In CoD4 I also can get 50-80 ping in Australian servers (which is anywhere from 30-80 on most NZ connections), but when I goto play a game like UrbanTerror (4.1), I can get a 20-30 ping on a NZ server?

My computer specs are as listed, and my Internet is 2mbit/256k Wireless, (compass.net.nz).
Router is D-Link DI-524.

cheers <3

In order to find out where the high pins originate you really need to run a traceroute. You can download as complete package from pingprobe.coml. Its trial is free and you should be able to slove it. What you really want to do is check the whole trip from your computer to the server and see which one is the bottleneck

Was the one i posted not suffice? hehe
And I must add, how convenient the Snipping Tool is!!

Here's one to sevenforums & the game server I listed above,

Well Its obviously not you. Server 6509 seems to be your nemisis. Im wondering if you have IP-6 turned off, and wlan also. Because 6509 is not an edge router I dont think compass is going to be all that thrilled with an alternative route, but it cant hurt to ask them. An alternative would be to use a anonymous proxy in your country because it would automatically use a different route

try the ip6 and let us know how it turns out

Turn IPv6 off in my network properties, anywhere else?

No but the d-link has a log right? could you check the log for things other than dns renew.

If you find something let us know

Ken

 

[koaL]

Log wasn't enabled, but it is now.. and I'm not sure what you mean by IPv6 or what you're wanting me to do :|

After diabling ip-6 in network and sharing, you can also try to force another ip from your ISP by ipconfig/flush, and ipconfig /renew. these are all generally things we do. Im not sure how much I can we can do the force a different route. there are some ppl who are much better at networking than i am so Ill see if I can enlist their help

Here's the log, have done what you asked
ipconfig/flush didn't work or incorrect command.

Hi Koal,

Ken aka Zigzag has asked me to look into your problem.

But actually I fail to see any problem on your side of the connection.

The ping from your rig to your provider is in the 20ms to 30ms range, right?

Or am I missing something?

Correct, just wondering why in some games (css/cod4) I get a higher ping but not in UrbanTerror

css/cod4 are definitely larger games and better graphics, cod4 is freshly installed. (using original steam folder for css)

 

[SquonkSC]

Hi Koal,

To elaborate, your connection to your ISP is perfectly ok, and has normal ping values.

The reason one game will have higher pings than the other is because of the different routes they take over the internet, and there's little to be done about it.
It can vary from day to day, or even from minute to minute, because the route won't always be the same.

Different games different servers, right? if so a different path and therefor different latency.

Gamevault.co.nz host the UrbanTerror server I was playing on, getting 30 ping.
They also host css servers, but no change.

Here's a traceroute to Gamevault,

[edit], Generally I get a lower ping when pinging\traceroute, but as soon as I hit in game servers that's when the ping\latency increase?

That's logical too.

Ping is just a tiny packet.

As soon as you log on, massive amount of data is being sent.

And game servers are often overloaded.

I've been kicked off game servers in the middle of a game because of overloads many times.

User base keeps growing + server hosts not investing in more capacity = overload.

Sweet as, ohwells - cheers for ya help
