First its the 4th hop problem, then the 7th. Im beginning to think its not the hops at all. Meaning, you have somethign drawing from your overall upload bandwidth which causes ping spikes at random times. Have you checked for viruses or spyware or ANY other programs that could be drawing from your bandwidth? heres an example. tracert with all bandwidth free: Tracing route to testmy.net [67.19.36.6] over a maximum of 30 hops: 1 6 ms 7 ms 6 ms 10.102.192.1 2 8 ms 7 ms 7 ms atm5-0-644.tampflerl-rtr1.tampabay.rr.com [24.92 .7.42] 3 8 ms 7 ms 8 ms srp8-0.tampflerl-rtr3.tampabay.rr.com [65.32.8.2 27] 4 8 ms 8 ms 7 ms so-0-2-0-0.gar1.Tampa1.Level3.net [209.0.96.1] 5 8 ms 7 ms 8 ms so-7-0-0.mp1.Tampa1.Level3.net [4.68.124.9] 6 8 ms 7 ms 30 ms as-2-0.bbr1.Dallas1.Level3.net [64.159.3.217] 7 31 ms 95 ms 201 ms ge-1-1-55.car3.Dallas1.Level3.net [4.68.122.134] 8 269 ms 32 ms 203 ms ge-1-2-54.car3.Dallas1.Level3.net [4.68.122.102] <- wow? 9 32 ms 32 ms 31 ms 4.78.220.10 10 32 ms 32 ms 30 ms dist-vlan31.dsr3-1.dllstx3.theplanet.com [70.85. 127.29] 11 32 ms 32 ms 31 ms dist-vlan21.dsr1-1.dllstx2.theplanet.com [70.85. 127.67] 12 34 ms 31 ms 31 ms gig1-0-1.tp-car9-1.dllstx4.theplanet.com [67.18. 116.69] 13 32 ms 31 ms 32 ms 6.67-19-36.reverse.theplanet.com [67.19.36.6] Trace complete. tracing with drawing upload Tracing route to testmy.net [67.19.36.6] over a maximum of 30 hops: 1 6 ms 5 ms 5 ms 10.102.192.1 2 14 ms 11 ms 15 ms atm5-0-644.tampflerl-rtr1.tampabay.rr.com [24.92 .7.42] 3 8 ms 8 ms 7 ms srp8-0.tampflerl-rtr3.tampabay.rr.com [65.32.8.2 27] 4 9 ms 9 ms 11 ms so-0-2-0-0.gar1.Tampa1.Level3.net [209.0.96.1] 5 13 ms 14 ms 8 ms so-7-0-0.gar2.Tampa1.Level3.net [4.68.124.14] 6 8 ms 31 ms 9 ms so-7-0-0.mp2.Tampa1.Level3.net [4.68.124.17] 7 31 ms 32 ms 31 ms ae-0-0.bbr2.Dallas1.Level3.net [64.159.1.110] 8 31 ms 32 ms 31 ms ge-1-2-54.car3.Dallas1.Level3.net [4.68.122.102] 9 46 ms 33 ms 189 ms dist-vlan31.dsr3-1.dllstx3.theplanet.com [70.85. 127.29] -> 10 33 ms 202 ms 31 ms dist-vlan21.dsr1-1.dllstx2.theplanet.com [70.85. 127.67] 11 124 ms 179 ms 179 ms dsr2-1-v1.dllstx4.theplanet.com [12.96.160.7] 12 152 ms 87 ms 92 ms gig1-0-1.tp-car9-1.dllstx4.theplanet.com [67.18. 116.69] 13 150 ms 95 ms 87 ms gig1-0-1.tp-car9-1.dllstx4.theplanet.com [67.18. 116.69] 14 153 ms 90 ms 180 ms 6.67-19-36.reverse.theplanet.com [67.19.36.6] <- Trace complete.

wow very nice Wish i had all thoes settings

well for some reason with steam if you try to put your actual connection rate in it brings it back to 14.4 k ... the only thing that sticks is leaving it alone or 250000 O_o.. for the tracert just right click > select all , then hit enter.

omg wow x_x Overnight ?! edit......no...this was in 2 hours..... holy crap lmao

x_x .....

May not be the connection itself. Are you on a router? I know sometimes routers will cause the most unsightly lag. Also what are your system specs? Make a tracert top testmy.net ( start > run > cmd > tracert testmy.net ) You can also try scanning for spyware and viruses as well, never know. make sure the wiring from the cable modem to your computer is free of kinks and tears, that will murder a connection quickly. [ also on a side note , on cs make sure you have done these steps to insure the best gameplay] In console type - developer 1 - rate 250000 - fps_max 100 - cl_updaterate 101 - cl_cmdrate 101 - hud_fastswitch 1 - net_graph 3 ( net_graph 0 to disable it ) {^ cal-im here ^rep^ }

well "192.168.1.1" should most deffinalty go to the router. Username : password : admin (dont put anything in the username colum) but if you put 192.168.1.1 and it goes to the modem... then i have no clue my friend. mabey try 192.168.1.2 ?

words are not needed here... just a smilie sequence.... x_x

lol i hear that. When i first got my 5 upgrade i was gettin 5.5 and 5.6 on the regular. no stopping it. Now im at about 5.1 5.2ish and gettin slower >.<

In on earthlink (mindspring.com) cable, which is the same division with more -other- isp's then i can count, including Comcast and roadrunner. (for thoes of you in texas that have heard of "lightspeed" , yea, your part of it too )

ok well heres how i did it. And yes, im completely clean. First of all to make things realy easy, open " My Documents " and go to tools > folder options . Then click the "view" tab and where you see "Hidden Files and Folders" check " show hidden files and folders" then click apply , then ok. Now for the removal of the files that initiate the poppups and all the nonsense , you have to do this in "save mode with networking" To get here just restart the comp and continuously tap "F8" and a screen will come up with the safe mode options. Arrow down to the "safe mode with networking" option, once highlighted click enter. This will start windows in safe mode. Once at the user account screen click on "administrator" account (not your own) allow it to login. Once your on the desktop and whatnot, just go to my computer> C: and right under all the folders, you'll see the added files. ( *see my screenshot in previous post * ) Delete all these files manually, then clear the recycle bin. After the files themselves are cleared go to start > run> msconfig . Tab over to the "startup" tab and basically look for the processes that look out of place, for example " khooker.exe" or " lshosts32.exe" " server" as opposed to common things such as "aim, msnmsgr , mspaint" etc. and uncheck these 'shady' looking processes. ( *see below for screenshot *) It will ask to continue working or restart. Choose continue working. After this is done Open internet explorer, ( yea... has to be I.E <.< ) and go to http://housecall.trendmicro.com and do a virus scan. [ Yes, i know you have an antivirus software already...as do i, but an outside scanner is much better then one on your virus ridden machine.. dontcha think? ] Let it scan. While this is scanning run adaware or spybot search and destroy or both if you please. (i did both) Remove any and all spyware/cookies/folders it finds, as well as viruses trendmicro finds. If trendmicro reports that the virus is unremovable ( as it did to me) just look at its location and manually delete the file. After this you just restart your machine and if done correctly, this will be the end of the virus and its effects. [edit] Also its never a bad idea to go to start > run > %temp%, which will bring you to " C:DOCUME~1name here LOCALS~1Temp and remove all you see there. For alot of viruses hide in the tempory stored documents. you can remove the " temp portion of the address to see your temporary internet files as well to remove them manualy. But be careful, cookies are also in the temporary internet files folder, and youll have to login to all your sites and whatnot again <.< [/edit]

oh yea.. lol sorry yea after the things (i listed above) theirs no more poppups /viruses/all that crap. Was pretty easy to remove actualy, just have to do it in safe mode or itll keep regenerating itself. lol

RR premo is 8000/768 correct me if im wrong?

lol its cool . Nice to have a rarely over the cap connection

hehe as i said

um.. thanks for posting that in my earthlink topic.........

hmm? Can you clarify that for me?

um...

O_o....

well i removed the files ( located so cleverly , right infront of your face in c: under all the folders....rofl) , scanned with adaware and spybot, removed some more crap, and am now using trendmicro's online scan to scan some more. As well as disabled all the autostartup's in the startup ( start > run> msnconfig ; startup : khooker.exe , lshosts32.exe , LTMMSG.exe , a noname.exe , etc) And after the virus scan(s) are complete ill see if its all gone
