Connection problems, can my ISP do anything?

[Littles]

Ok for the past 4 days or so i have been unable to do any RvR because i have a permanent 2 second delay, heres the ping plotter results but they confuse me somewhat as according to these results the packets never reach the destination.....anyone got any ideas whats going on or know if my ISP can do anything? I phoned them and there only suggestion was to google it I also asked them if it was possible to send me down a different route to which they said no thats not possible.

Destination not reached in 35 hops

 

[Amiga]

so... google it then ;p

Im getting the same thing so did a trace route from command prompt.
I have only been getting it since they had the server down to fix the housing bug on wednesday.

The last hop cant be reached but that will just be the firewall at goa stopping pings , cant really see any problems anywhere unless its one of the hops that arent responding to pings.
I currently have my US account active aswell and i have less delay playing on that account even though my pings are 5x as much , although i have 2 less hops to US servers than the goa ones in france.

I have been having linkdeath problems since last Wed/Thursday - didnt make any changes leading upto it just suddenly started after previous good connections. I can play maybe 10-15mins then go linkdead. I have updated drivers on network card and gx card without success - could this be down to my ISP ???

I'm wondering if this has anything to do with your problems...

thanks for the info m8. In theory it should not be effecting me but in practice it could very well be the underlying issue. Ive mailed my ISP and Easynet so all i can do is sit and wait anyway and hope it gets sorted.

P.S
Wales rules!

 

[Vegedk]

Rich you've allways been one big connection problem.. hope you get it sorted tho

yours truely

P.S. its prolly cause your from wales

Are you still getting this problem? mine seemed to have fixed itself for a week but has now returned.

 

[Influenza]

Nevermind i managed to fix it , looked in my router logs and found they had changed my ip a month ago and the new one sucked for some reason , just released it and got a new one .
