Packet Loss

[Turamber]

Okay, complete computer n00by here, so get your laughter in straight away.... Right thats done with then

Am suffering huge packet loss when I *try* to play on the Prydwen server. Monsters, people, NPC's all winking into and out of existence.

/sends and group chat work fine, but game play is impossible.

Danyan recommended that I get Ping Plotter. Running that now to 193.252.123.13 am getting seriously crap results. The first 14 hops on the report all give 100% packet loss.

How on earth is that possible? If anyone can give me advice on getting to the reason for this problem I shall be in your eternal debt.

Thanks in anticipation.

Hmm that sounds broken...

Does pingplotter work if you try other addresses? forums.barrysworld.com might be a good place to start

Woha. Either your entire connection is borked (read ISP issue), or there are some serious routing problems between you and Prydwen at present. That ALL the jumps show a 100% loss though seems to indicate that it's ISP based, however.

Are you experiencing problems outside DAoC?

Ahem, turned out to be a super duper anti virus I purchased at the weekend. It came with a firewall (didn't know what one of those was at the time ) that had to be turned off separately to the anti virus software.

So ... problem solved at least. Thanks for all the help guys, much appreciated!
