I play on this server catskills.owo.com for ultima online. My friend and I are on the same SNET DSL network in Connecticut...and we live not even a half mile apart. My problem is that i ping 100+ to the server, when he still pings 30ms. Heres a traceroute of mine from a few nights ago:

I know the only difference is our 6th hop, but if i disconnect and reconnect i can go through the OC48 too, but i still have the high ping problem. I want to know why he doesnt lag and i do, when we are on the same service and .5 miles away. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any help!
 
Do you have any software on your system that is acting as server side? For example, I was getting some no site found errors, and terrible pings and traces on one of mine, and it turned out to be the Web Filter/Web Security feature of the AV program I was running. Somehow it was interfering with packet transmission.
