I know, I know....
My server is in the next room, and if I ping it via it's internal IP, it pings at about 10 ms. The point I was trying to make is that if I ping it via it's external IP, the ping has to go through the DSL modem, out into Qwest Land, and then back again. *That* is the path that addes 30-40 ms per transit. That is why I can ping other severs and get better responces then pinging my own server - Qwest DSL adds significant latency, and it takes longer to hop through the delay to Qwest Land and back through the delay again, then it takes to go out over the Internet to other servers whos ISP *doesn't* introduce such latency. It sux - all of my players automatically pick up 30-40 ms of lag because of this. Not that it's that bad in most cases, but border line modem players just have a bit more lag then they otherwise might have. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stan Hoeppner" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, October 06, 2001 3:56 PM Subject: RE: Cable connections > > > In order to ping > > my server, it goes out to qwest and back, and that adds like > > 30-40ms out, > > and 30-40 ms coming back.
