Oh, here I am again!

So a brand-new router didn’t fix anything. We’ve spoken to our ISP recently, hence the router, and they determined our router was at fault. So yay, brand-spanking new one. It’s not even a month old.

However, my lag in TF2 just won’t go away. I spike from 80-300 in game, but I check my ping in cmd (I ping google) and that remains stable at 35-39. I’ve use chrisfps config settings (for bad connection).

Also, I have no problems whatsoever in other games. I have no lag in Quake Live (only game I’ve tested so far, perhaps I’ll try other Valve games soon).

The only thing I haven’t done yet is reformat my PC. I’ve restarted my PC and several times but it doesn’t seem to matter.

I run Windows 7 and I am on wireless. I also check my ping to the router to see if its my signal and that seems to be ok. It’s a bit difficult for me to get a cable round since the router is in an awkward position.

Can’t say I’m familiar with what SYN is :s I’m on Sky Broadband, if that helps.

Probably traffic shaping gone wrong. What are latency times like to the same server when sending SYN?

You are onto the right track, but i think she should investigate the possibility of her router having a quantum flux pattern signal dispersion issue – perhaps caused by interference from tachyon emissions ranging from the earth’s secondary ionosphere during times of low nitrogen exposure in mercury’s second moon

Joke’s on you, Mercury has no moon.

can we get back to the point where we would just ignore chris’ attempts of sounding intellectually gifted and instead actually help people with technical issues?

here’s the bit where i point out that doing what i said would actually give useful technical information, and that you are a jackass.

and here’s the bit where someone tells you that, sure, it might give useful info but no one can actually give you that info because they haven’t got a clue what you’re on about.

also I think Hat’s probably on the right track. I wouldn’t be surprised to hear that the router is in some sort of void and the router that’s in this world is actually just a projection and everyone sees what they want in it’s place.

how the everloving *fuck* is what i said hard to understand? send SYN-flagged packets (using hping, or just craft them yourself…) and see what the response time is. ICMP isn’t really a fair test since it’s usually prioritised.

as an astute student of networking, morphine is blessed with the ability to perform entry level latency troubleshooting such as this
