Packet Loss

of course; the :28930 portion is a port number and ping is not to a port, but rather just the ip address.


where did you get the ping 63.251.20.206:28930 info?

try just ping 63.251.20.206 and then pathping 63.251.20.206

btw: 63.251.20.206 is nyc.nuclearfallout.net

o lol thanks for that I got the ip from one of the game servers that was kicking me.

Here are the results: (sorry i had trouble coping and pasting)



Thanks for the quick replies =D

here is another one to a different server:

C:\Users\Administrator>

on BOTH samples, you losses are are trivial! there's no problem what-so-ever

I suggest that the original high loss rate and disconnect was time and server load related and nothing to do with your setup

O okay, so i know it's not a network issue! Thanks alot, Jobeard

What about this one?

those numbers in the third column clearly show losses midstream between you and
the server.

you're good (perfect) for the first five nodes and then it gets into trouble.

the network starting at 4.68.x.x is OVERLOADED.

suggest you pick another server

I restarted my pc and i am no longer having issues. I should have thought of that earlier. Thanks for everything. =)

I am having the same problem with call of duty Waw and maybe Farcry2. On WaW the same happens to me (Kicked by punkbuster...No packet flow...) but I dont have a clue what packets are or antything like that, any help?

Also on call of duty waw i cant join any servers, it w just wont let me click on any servers that i could join, only the ones that are full or no longer availible. Got any ideas?
