' Wrote:You, good sir, are losing a lot of traffic between your computer and the first hop to your ISP. Suggests whatever local connection you use is poor - Phone line in case of DSL, coax in case of cable internet. Contact your ISP and have a tech run a signal check. It could also be a faulty modem or bad cabling in your home. Or, more likely, a bad wireless link between your computer and router. Without more info on your home setup and connection, not much more I can say.
well its a 28 meg max cable connection and actually only a FEW servers have this issue.. Like left 4 dead and battlefield and other games my ping and such is grand
The cabling in the house is brand new.. i was kinda a jerk to make sure thats the case. I adjusted my packet size and it has improved the ping a little bit..
The only thing i can think is its my ancient lynksys cable modem? my router is a nice one (cable port connection there only two pcs in the house.
So the next two tests are.. run a signal check.. And connectiont his pc straight to the modem and see if it gets better.
What could the router be set to to be dropping so many packets?
Are you experiencing problems? Aside from what looks like a sharp latency increas between the second and third hop (which you've blanked out, so I am not sure what those are) there doesn't seem to be a whole lot wrong with this connection. Bit of packet loss but the values are not too bad. Could indicate a heavy load on a shared medium, like cable internet.
Check your connection between your computer and modem/router (wireless link with poor signal strength perhaps?). First hop is already giving problems.
@Lobster: No info for you. Seems your college is blocking outbound ping.
@Diomedes: Laggy connection. Likely due to a heavy load. Tell the other guys to kill their torrents, campuswide:P
@Snoozer: No problems there from the look of it, are you getting connection errors?
@Huggie: Dropped packets is typically caused by a bad link in whatever is connecting the devices between which packets are dropped. Could be a weak wireless link, could be a bad cable, could be a bad patch in the wall outlet. You say the wiring is brand new - was it signal tested? Perhaps there's a bad patching in the wall outlet. Try forcing your computer's network card (in case of a fixed cable connection) to 10 megabit/half duplex and rerun the test. 10MBit/Half is much more tolerant of noise on the cable. If that fixes things, you know you're dealing with a bad connection in your home.

Cannon, like this thread I have the exact same issues. Connection was perfect (40 / 0 / 0 / 0) until exactly two days ago, now I have very high losses and lag.
Just quoting the OP of that thread:
' Wrote:Well, last days im experiencing constant losses while playing Disco and it's very annoying. Would like to know if it's an issue with me or with server because tracert on server goes cool and losses in game at the same moment.

Now you suggested I should do a WinMTR statistics, but I have issues getting it to work properly, I think it's a port issue... just see for yourself:
