Well i appol for what it appears Jack. Had mine a while too but , but maybe not as long as you 10-4 goodbuddy. Ok jack well i think your nic is close to perfect Hehe. Cheers n beers. not stress.

It goes off the number of posts you've made. @jackintheshack has been a regular for a long time, I see his username all the time. I was surprised when I noticed he's never posted. Him and I first talked in email August 2011 to November 2011. I guess sometimes when I talk to people in email and then just see their username on the site... it makes me feel like they've posted. @jackintheshack Here's a quote from an email 11/5/11, I'm noticing now that our last email was days before my daughter was born... funny I haven't talked to you since then and now you pop back up right before my second Son is about to be born. --- Sorry if I didn't respond to the last message. Was a busy time for sure. Okay, on to the quote... Like I was telling @jackdashack in PM last night. We'll just have to have to remember that there is jackdashack and jackintheshack. I think it's cool that there are enough members here to have run into this problem.

Ditto. No bigger man in character than one who apologizes.

You have no idea! We've watched Seinfeld for years, repeat after repeat. Love the obvious. Which obscures the masses. None the less, is the Westel wired or a repeater? I will say you point out the obvious as wired, but I have to ask, otherwise this could account for the high latency between the two , see?

Westel model number please? I don't intend to be so pedantic, but it is important to know what the device capabilities are to determine if there is a 'better' or more efficient or 'proper' configuration for the specific depth of the layout. And why is the Westel necessary in any event? Unless it is acting as a 'dummy' or hub to connect other devices.

nice chart!

Is it possible to get the topology of your network, in other words: Modem---> switch --> windows machine Or Modem --> switch --> switch --> XP windows machine | windows 10 machine It all good, we should have the above before at least myself, has a better understanding of the layout. Also, when referring to the 'node', this could mean any number of network 'devices' in the path, a switch, a router, to keep it simple, it's a 'hop' that must be traveled to reach the destination. Which is what the tracrt shows, each 'hop' from 'node to node' is showing the 'latency' or speed / time to reach there and back divided by 2.

ok no problem, lets simplify this. Take one machine out of the discussion momentary. Is there one of th[e] two machines which can be connected to either or internal 'nodes' or switches as you are referring to? If so lets use that one to test each 'switch or node'

The nodes that timed out are not always abnormal, it's simply the 'security' setup to not respond. What is more concerning appears to be the XP box, where the 10 box has not this issue. Yet you are getting the same test results from both machines, correct me?

May I suggest running a traceroute to east.testmy.net, and post the results here please. tracert east.testmy.net

Could easily be on your ISP's end... it may be totally out of your hands. No matter how good you make it your end, you're only as strong as the weakest link. It is fluctuating heavily and that's never good. I would definitely look deeper into that. Aren't you convinced yet that those other sites are a waste of your time? Why do you keep visiting them? You're never a bother, I appreciate questions, comments and suggestions. Keep 'em coming!

You've confirmed what TMN is telling you. The two 16ms readings tell us that. Your actual ping isn't far off from what TMN Response Time shows. Run it longer than 4 hops, try ping -c 20 east.testmy.net Just like with your Response Time, your ping is going back and forth. That's never a good sign. Room for improvement for sure. Thanks for showing me that the test is working. So yeah, for all we know... the other tests out there that show 'ping' are showing you the best ping out of a series. TMN shows you everything that it sees. Hope this helps!
