im running full fastest i could get cable net and im still running a 190-220 ping when i play battlefield 1942. i tried closing everything that uses net. restarting my modem and stuff. idk what is causing my high ping. i am connected directly to my modem if that might help figure it out.

any ideas how ot drop my ping?
 
what speed is your cable? like, how many megabit? are you behing a router or firewall or both?
 
im hooked right up to my modem. i dont kno if i have a firewall or not. i never installed one.

im not sure what speed it is. i dont remember. is there a way to check?
 
well ...how fast of a service are you paying for?

clean your comp of spyware (might help a smidge ..might help a lot ...might not do anything for yuh)

google for different speed test sights to see how fast of a connection your really have and run these tests at different times of the day/night

 
i dont have spyware. ive only had windows for 4 days. i reformatted my hdd. so if spyware is already a problem then i give up. and i dont kno how fast i am paying for. ive had it for over year so i have forgotten
 
as of right now here is what my speed is according to these tests.

Cnet.com:3072.3 kbps (download)
Bandwidthplace.com:3.5Mb (download)
Speakeasy.net:3991kbps (download) 515kbps (upload)
toast.net:3060kpbs(download)
 
I know this is going to sound stupid, but you have tried multiple servers, right? Just want to rule out it not being a certain server giving you an issue.
 
it is just one server. and i just looked it up and they have alot of problems. i sitll dont think i should have a high ping tho.
 
If you are having issue with one server it is highly likely that you simply won't get good ping time there. All servers ping differently. Geographic location, backbone location, traffic, can all cause you to get a higher ping time. I can't play on a european server and get a good ping, it just takes to long for the data to travel.

My suggestion is to find a server that has a good ping and play there. You probably will never get a good ping from the server you are referring to unless it is an internal issue they are going to correct.
 
Find the ip of the server.

Open up command prompt ( start | run | type cmd | hit enter)

type tracert ipaddress here, so for example tracert 127.0.0.1 where you put your server ip in place of the 127.0.0.1


This will show you the minimum, max, and average ping time from you to each "hop" or router along the way to your desired server. Then you will be able to see exactly where the latency is going up, i.e. ping going higher.
