Hi

Further to my earlier post, I've discovered which servers I'm having problems with. Basically I'm on BY Cable and I get very poor performance on Q2 and some Q3A servers. It seems to be all the Q2 servers and the Q3 RocketArena and Instagib servers. I get 90-100 ping and major packet loss. Somebody mentioned to me that there are two seperate feeds/servers which host Q2/Q3A? If so, I'm obviously getting a very dodgy connection to one of them :( I'm guessing I need to sort this out with BY, so what information do I need to give to them so that they can track the problem down? Cheers.

ok, get the ip of the server and then open a dos prompt and type:

tracert xx.xxx.xx.xx (replacing the x's with the IP)

That should mean you can see where the problem lies, and whos fault it is.

There are two netfeeds

Concert (server ip's start 212.162)
bt (server ip's start 212.140)

meant to add..

If its a BY problem then email them the traceroutes (do a few to the same IP), if BT or WP side then I guess we just have to hope that somebody somewhere reads this ;(

personally i'm tempted to email the GP directors with any problems, and they can be the new tech support/helpdesk...

Thanks m8y - that's what I needed! All the problem servers are on the Concert feed....armed with this info I will now attempt to get it sorted :)

Many thanks - just hope I get somewhere now :)
