Survey: Server Connectivity

[aerelm]

This tutorial shows one technique to try to find the problem. [It is based on a tutorial written by Danny @ i3d.net that I googled].

Download WinMTR using http://sourceforge.net/projects/winmtr/files/. After downloading you may extract the .zip file anywhere you like.

Go to the directory where you extracted the .zip file and start WinMTR (WinMTR.exe). If you're using Vista or Windows 7 you need to run this as Administrator.

WinMTR should look like this:



This is the startup screen of WinMTR, now we are going to make a trace route.

Enter discogc.game-host.org into the "Host" field in the place where the 84.244.186.163 is shown. Click "Start"



Wait until the "Sent" column shows at least 100 messages have been sent. Click "Stop" and take either a screen shot of the screen or click "copy text to clipboard" and paste the text into a forum post.

If due to security or privacy reasons you do not feel comfortable posting your IP or ISP publicly, feel free to remove the IPs listed in the first 2 to 3 lines, but leave rest of the data from those lines (sent, received, loss, etc) intact.
