Ping...

[Hedgeehog]

Well since yesterday my ping for SA:MP and Vent have shot up.
My ventrilo ping is ranging 6,000-30,000 Ping... Yeh I know.
My SA:MP ping is roughly 400-600 Ping.

Two Days ago my vent ping was 100-160 and SA:MP about the same.

What has happened? It can't be me, My internet is 16MB. I have scanned with Ad Aware, Spybot and ESET and thats all clean. I've portforwarded the ports used by Ventrilo Hosts and SA:MP server host and disabled firewalls.

Can anyone help please?

So what if your net is 16mb? The line speed does not have anything to do with the ping at all, i could get 20 ping on dialup. Ping depends on how far away you are from the server,

1. reboot your router.
2. reboot your PC
3. make sure all cables are in properly
4. make sure one of the cables are damaged or have knots in them.
5. make sure one of the cables are longer than 2 meters.

1- I have rebooted it and have turned it off for 30 seconds.
2- Did this many times
3- All cables are in correctly.
4- Not damaged and no knots in them at all.
5- They are.

Still, high ping It only started yesterday...

Maybe their servers have an extremely high number of people online... maybe your exchange has more active users... causes for high ping are endless.

Go to start > Run > cmd.exe > ping google.com . High ping there? In that case, it's a problem on your side.

Download a program like Cfosspeed and use it to monitor your bandwidth. How much is being used, what programs use it etc.

Is it possible someone hooked up on your net? Sharing the net with others?

Do you have Bittorrent on your computer? Make sure to turn BTDNA.exe off.

There can be many, many reasons. Most of the time it's other people on the net and viruses/spyware.

Pinging Google ain't a use, already said, it's how far you are from the server.

No, ping problems aren't caused by distance to server only >.> Basic internet knowledge.

Basic internet knowledge is also that to get to one server you first go (or "hop") through 30 or more other servers. Hence why the distance of each of them to you is relevant. More distance = higher ping and they may have bad/inferior cabling which would introduce more line noise which also increases ping.

As i said, it can be caused by anything. But to run some troubleshooting tests to make sure it isn't your hardware, ping the following:
127.0.0.1
Your LAN IP
Your gateway's IP
Another LAN computer if you have o ne

If all of them come out fine then it is not a problem with your hardware and hence you cannot do anything about it.
