Ping times currently over the net.

[Makzimia]

I am informed by my provider cox that they and ALL other responsible ISPs have just locked into place some more filtering for the current run of virus's out there. I phoned them after someone told me they got a 800ms rate on Fredian while coming in on ADSL, which traditionally BTW suffers more under these circumstances than Cable, but anyway, as long as those viruses are around, you can look forward to ping times being up all over the place I would think. Once the filters are not having to work as hard, things should return to normal.

This incidentily is not something I can really determine locally for the server itself, I only see what my ping times are in and out, gamespy is seperate, your ISP's are seperate etc etc... so, don't shoot the messenger

Here is a sample of my return rates..

Here is the speedometer I use:

us.mcafee.com/root/genericURL_genericLeftNav.asp?genericURL=/root/speedometer/test_0150.asp&genericLeftNav=/en-us/wrapper/catalog_nav.asp

Using the Direct Connect throught he LAN button in NWN, I don't see the PING rate; then again, being a new college student, I seldom get to Fredian like I did in the old days (less than 2 weeks and it seems a lot longer).
