when its just me, or me and one other, i get pings of around 200, with zero packet loss. When 3 or more show up, my ping goes up to 250 or so, and packet loss of about 5%. Above that, and my pings are > 300, packet loss > 10%.

Thanks for the service man!

Jator - what kinda hardware are you running? And what's your connection speed?

Not a great connection for me. I'm on DSL and with nobody else on I'm getting about 110-125 ms pings with 0-25% packet loss.

With some servers online with 10 other players I'll get 70 ms pings with 0 packet loss.

What are you running?

P.S. How do I check that without killing myself first? I can check ping from the console but I dunno how to check packets.

My game server is running on a Dauleron with 128 Megs of Ram running W2k. I am on a cable connection, but the bandwith is shared with my pproxy, so if you have SpaceWalker or Drakkhen dumping large number of blocks, that probably leads to the packet loss. Things should improve greatly once LD gets the dedicated game server online.

I did a trace and clean ping this morning.

This was from Boston MA. Ping 55-64 0% loss.

A high speed connection T3. Your ISP routes thru 31 nodes. This is from the northeast.

12 of these nodes are after passing your server. They go down to Atlanta then to Orlando and then back up to your server.

Another ping at 8Pm. 78-87.

While running UT an occassional spike to 114 0% loss.

I told the bots I was doing some Technical tests but they didn't care.
They trashed me anyway

Hope this helps
