I think it's time for Skuzzy to step in, I don't know the Main Arena's IP's anymore. You're probably getting a bad route to that server.

Shoot him and email.

Skuzzy..
how do I check these traces/ping plots for that IP address?

DFYNT1 · « **Reply #24 on:** January 26, 2004, 03:39:32 PM »

Dingbat.. I appreciate all the advise. Thanks for going to all the trouble.

Skuzzy...I checked the ping details and the IP is right for main arena. No anti virus is running..I've checked programs running in the background..all but the minimum is closed. In everything else my connection is great..My server has 2mb/sec service. I haven't used kazaa since I wiped my system.
In all other arenas The game works GREAT...70 frame rate.

Would you mind emailing me the DXDIAG output of your system?

1) Go to "Start" from the Windows desktop
2) Select "Run" from the pop up menu
3) In the Run dialog box, type DXDIAG and press
4) After a few seconds the DXDIAG utility will be ready
5) Press the "Save All Information" button
6) This will save the DXDIAG data to a file of your choice
7) Once you have done this, simply email the file to me and I can look for any issues your system might have.

This will be a good start, but there could also be interrupts being shared which could cause unstable connections. Let's start with DXDIAG and see if anything rears its head.

auuuuuuuuugh Kazaa .... my inlaw was using kazaa on my network while he was here a few months ago ... it wrecked my gameplay compleatly ..

when you open up kazaa its file share folder and your pc gets opened to the kazaa network you end up getting pinged to death for up to "two days" after you turn Kazaa off .
it ruined my 700+ kbps bandwith down to 100kbps and made game play warpy as could be .

just look at the "full duplex" lights on your linksys are they flashing hard or fully lit all the time when you have kazaa open or just after you turn off kazaa??? (i know they are ) thats your network /ip ect getting pinged to death from kazaa . you can verify this by doing a speedtest .

As I said..I'm no longer using a router or Kazaa. Straight cable connection. I did this to eliminate some possible causes. Completely wiped HDD and reinstalled everything fresh.

send Skuzzy all your info dxdiag, ect .

if your still connected by firewire it may be in that setup also .
