Due to some issues with connection for some of our members, it is highly suggested you test your connections with this tool and give the results in this thread. Remember you can remove your IP address from the initial post for privacy reasons. ~Spazzy
Many people complain that they have high lag/loss. Sometimes this is the fault of the server, particularly when we're under DDOS attack. Most of the time, the problem lies at your end or on a router between you and the server.
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].
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 to clipboard" and paste the text into a forum post.
If there is high loss in the last few hosts then the issue probably lies in the data center or server otherwise it is probably somewhere nearer you. It is normal for some devices in the routing path to always show 100% loss. Don't worry about these if devices after them are responding.
