high Ping?

[g4r3th]

Need help desperately, our server (2607) keeps giving me a high ping of over 500+ every few minutes and making the game unplayable, now EVERY other server is fine and so it cant be something myside. (i hope)

I've played on other multiplay servers and they all have same i.p except last set of digits and port ofcourse and they all run fine and ping stays below 20 but as soon as I go back to our multiplay server my ping rises again. any idea's please?

btw it's only started 4 days ago and was fine before, only chnage we have done is the rotation of maps. oh and when I ping the server I lose the first packet, sometimes 2 out 0f 4 packets lost. Remember all other servers are fine.

Download http://winmtr.sourceforge.net/winmtr_bin.zip
It is a connection diagnostic tool.
Unzip it.
Run it.
In the HOST box, enter the IP address of your server without the port number.
Let it run for at least 10 mins while you play your game. If after you are finished you experienced ping problems, stop the trace, and click Export TEXT. Save the file and send it as an attachment to clanservers@multiplay.co.uk
We can then proceed from there.

Thanks for reply, i did the test and it shows some packet loss one hop from my home on my isp side yet strangely you would think it would affect all servers but it don't,

it only affects our own server that i connect too lol. all others are fine. Anyway I've rang my i.s.p (bulldog) and they are looking into it. Thanks for the link to winmtr too.

here is a copy of the report:

EDIT: If I only ping the linx1.multiplay.co.uk I dont get any packetloss >??? So now I'm back to thinking it is the server?
