Author Topic: People lagging in my server!!  (Read 772 times)

So my when I'm not hosting BL and I "PING www.google.com" in command prompt it's a steady 70-75ms. (Good considering I live on an island far away in the Pacific)
When I'm hosting with like 16 or 20 people they all have 300-400+ms ping and it jitters by the 100s when I keep doing listclients();


I have a newly bought Netgear WN311B PCI slot wireless adapter and an older Netgear dgnd 3300 router. 
My ports are forwarded, I host on port 28000, I even tried 28000-28100.

My computer:
HP, windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Installed RAM = 4gb
Total Physical Memory = 4gb
Available Physical Memory = 1.97gb
Total Virtual memory = 8gb
Available Virtual Memory = 5.32gb
Page File Space=4gb
AMD Athlon(tm) II X2 240 Processor, 2800MHz, 2 Cores, 2 Logical Processors

Use this command:

tracert 8.8.8.8

Tracing to google it says,

For #1)
1ms 11ms 11ms MyRouter

Then from #2-13) it's like 250-360ms

What does all this mean?

That didn't help.

Post the entire thing.

tracert 8.8.8.8 > output.txt

Give us output.txt

Don't the numbers contain sensitive information?
Like IP adresses and stuff?


Ok ok, should I bet hosting when I do the trace?

Well, the fact that it jumps from Hawaii to Colorado may mean you're using satellite internet.

I don't think I have satellite internet, I'm not tethering or anything through a cell phone...
Can I fix the problem though or am I stuck with it? D:

There are wires from the mainland to Hawaii so there's no reason a satellite should be used.

This is your ISP's problem, you can't do anything about it.

You're right, there are wires going from here to the mainland...
If there's wires I bet I can change ISP to one that uses them!

So my ISP uses satellite for sure?

No, your ISP is most likely using the wires. One problem could be the fact that Hawaii is 2387 miles from mainland California.

What ISP do you have? Also, DSL or Cable?

There was a suspicious jump from Hawaii to Denver which is why I suggested that it may be satellite.

It could also be a bad ISP

HawaiianTelecom
DSL i'm pretty sure.
