-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Kevin here are screenshots that illustrate why I have question about this issue. http://whisper.ausgamers.com/pictures/sourcepings/de_dust_pcg0000.jpg http://whisper.ausgamers.com/pictures/sourcepings/de_dust_pcg0001.jpg http://whisper.ausgamers.com/pictures/sourcepings/de_dust_pcg0002.jpg http://whisper.ausgamers.com/pictures/sourcepings/de_dust_pcg0003.jpg http://whisper.ausgamers.com/pictures/sourcepings/de_dust_pcg0004.jpg http://whisper.ausgamers.com/pictures/sourcepings/de_dust_pcg0005.jpg http://whisper.ausgamers.com/pictures/sourcepings/de_dust_pcg0006.jpg http://whisper.ausgamers.com/pictures/sourcepings/serverping.jpg If you check the creation times of the pictures you will see that they were all taken within the same minute.
The Last picture is a http://www.pingplotter.com tracert ping tool set at 1 second intervals that was running whilst I joined the game and took the screenshots. As you can see, the average ping does not deviate far from the scoreboard ping. The last hop times out because the server firewalled from ping packets. net_graph and stats pings though, do not seem to bear any relation as to my connections actual latency, and thus far, there has been no adequate explanation as to why the 3 ping measurements are completely at odds with each other. Oh, the server in question is on a link that I can always download at 1MegaByte per Second sustained for 100's of MB's. That is to say, file servers sitting in the same rack will serve data out to me at that rate. Hopes this make sense. Cheers On 7/21/05, Dabosman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > James, > > I got ya.
