Question about people RAMing

Comcast right? Excessive buffering on your router? sounds more like latency issues.... verify if the UDP packets are being delivered or if they are being dropped....

ATT is my provider.

For some time up until last week the HOPs in Texas were all bad. Very wide fluctuations and drops of packets. My three hops in California ping 3, 6, 6. Then Texas is 49, 50, 60. The first two Texas have been dropping packets and spiking up in the 200's for about 2 months now. The last week has been good.

Comcast doesn't like gamers from what my neighbors tell me.

hmm.... What is HTC's game server IP? Is it hosted at the same at SoftLayer/ThePlanet.com as well?

:~$ nslookup www.hitechcreations.com
Server:         10.1.1.102
Address:        10.1.1.102#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:   www.hitechcreations.com
Address: 70.85.193.18


traceroute to 70.85.193.18 (70.85.193.18), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets
 1  10.1.3.1  0.608 ms  0.540 ms  0.517 ms
 2  70.85.193.18  55.347 ms  63.326 ms  59.063 ms

Use 71.252.137.146 for the server IP address, at the moment.

I hope the hop dropping packets is simply not accepting ICMP.

[Skuzzy]

Yep, hop #8 does not honor the "ICMP ECHO" packet type.

An excellent write up explaining it all.

Come now Blooz, lets not try to explain thing to them. That spoils the        factor for them, if not completely it surely diminishes it.


And the real reason for this post. Yes a pure 100% unadulterated and admitted Hijack
Did you make Geneseo this year, I went Sunday and didnt see any big white cowboy hats.

[Blooz]

Yup, I was there Sunday. Did the pancake breakfast at about 8. Walked the entire grounds to check out the planes then set up chairs and umbrellas for the show. Left at about 3:30 because it was so danged hot and there was no breeze.

I was sitting on the far right from the announcers tower (next to the area roped off for "media"). I was on the far left (as the crowd would be looking at us) of the veterans as we did the "salute to veterans" thing.

Ended up eating four HAG hut angus cheeseburgers and bought a new hat, lol.

Can't believe we missed each other again this year Fuze!
