ping troubles Options

[Crazy Canuck]

curious if anyone else has been experienceing ping problems lately! My ping to most servers as of late have been in the range of 300 - 500, with the exception of a few which i'm assuming are closer to me in the west.

i normally run around 85 - 150 with most servers so this is quite a jump. I've checked for spyware with a few different programs as well as viruses with norton and found nothing, so not sure whats going on!

starting to get the jitters here as i've been unable to play for about 4 days now!

You could try tracing first pinging your gateway. Usually you can find the Gateway in your router's configuration (if you use a router)or with the command ipconfig if you don't
from the command line:

ping theipofyourgateway

. If that ping is high, the problem is your machine our your line to the gateway, more than likely its either your machine or the line into your house. If that ping is ok, try the following command for windows.

tracert 8.9.4.77

What comes up will be all of the hops between your machine or router and the practice server. Look to see if any one of them is high.The first high ping should be your problem. Solving it, can be a whole different issue. Earlier in the summer, I was consistently having problems when I reached Level3 in Chicago. Level3 provides the hosting for clanservers.
