Ping

[FatSloth]

Hi I am having terrible ping problems, typically 500-900ms!! I have an AMD K6-2 300 w64 MB and Voodoo 3 3000, diamond supraexpress 56K modem (currently connected at 45,333bps through the Wireplay direct number.)

What can I do to improve this so I can play games??

I never had these problems with my Lan connection last year *sigh*.

FatSloth,

If you have the external SupraExpress PRO modem the you might like to check this page :-

It shows my Win9x settings for my SupraExpress 56e PRO.

Thanks for your reply Slime.

I have the internal modem, though I looked at the recommended site and seem to have those settings anyway.

Anyone got any other ideas?

Fatsloth,

OK - did you know that Diamond put out new drivers for the internal very recently (19th July) ?

They might help ya. Details are on another post from the modem board :-

P.S If not, i can only recommend you reload your existing drivers and/or firmware.

Mate, this ping is incredibly high, make sure you have Error Control OFF.

SLO MO RULZ...however, I found if you turn off Error Correction, esp. with JK. The ping is very random. That is with the external Supra Express....not PRO.

Thanks guys,
I didn't know about the new drivers, and combined with turning error correction off I get a ping of ~300.
If I see any of you around...

... I'll frag your asses!

Cheers,
