ok, i went to the links specified, and saw an
improvement, then went and did several speed tests, at
dslreports.com, got mixed results, sometimes i was
blazing fast, 2.4 meg, probably a result of going to
tcpoptimizer and downloading the tweaks. other times i
was slow as mollasses, 329 kilo. went to my game server
site and played a little bit. still experiencing lag,
even though my ping is good. the results of the tracert
are as follows.

it seems that heavy traffic is causing me to lagg out.If
i were to show another tracert to that site it might get
better results, or worse. i have been to the
http://www3.sympatico.ca/nibblesnbits/TraceRoute.html web
site and saw good results too.
is there a way to suggest a different ping path without
as much packet loss? or should i just accept the fact
that my server is bogged down with heavy traffic?
thanks. what else can be done?

steps for you! :-)

>
>HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR CONNECTION:
>
>1. Run this SPEED TEST:
http://bandwidthplace.com/speedtest/
>
>2. Download the TCP Optimizer Utility:
http://www.speedguide.net/files/TCPOptimizer.exe
>
>3. Double click the program to start it:
>
>4. Select the type of connection you're using: DSL,
Dialup, DSL (PPPoE),
> or Cable, then click "Optimal settings", click Apply
changes, and click Exit.
>
>5. Reboot and run the SPEED TEST again. Notice any
improvement? If not,
> then the Internet "highway" that you're using may be
under heavy traffic or
> construction. I have a webpage you can use to
examine that possibility:
> http://www3.sympatico.ca/nibblesnbits/TraceRoute.html
>
>
>ADDITIONAL CONNECTIVITY TIPS:
>
>1. Extra items in your Networking Properties Components
list may confuse and
> delay your system while it's connecting as it has to
choose which component to
> transfer the data through. Solution: Remove
unnecessary network Components.
> If you don't use dial up, replace "Dial Up Adapter"
with "Network Adapter" in:
> these instructions:
http://www.oregoncoast.com/configuration/ConfigNetwork.htm
>* If you don't use a Dialup Modem, delete it. In 99% of
cases VPN components
> aren't used, so you can safely delete those as well.
>
>2. Advanced Users should Reinstall ICS and Networking
Components:
> http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-
US;q263276 Or..
> another advice would be to simply unplug the
computer, remove the card
> you connect to the internet with, and then restart
the computer to verify that there
> is no longer anything installed in the Control
Panel / Networking section.
> Once done power off, unplug, reinstall the card, and
create a new connection.
>
>3. Lag/Latency can be caused by your Modem or Network
Cards and by other
> programs running on your system. Firewalls and even
AntiVirus programs have
> been know to slow a connection down. You can
disable startup programs using the
> method explained at: http://www.pacs-
portal.co.uk/startup_content.htm.
>
>4. Scan for Adware/Spyware/Trojans with Spybot from:
http://security.kolla.de
> And then run an Online Virus Scan:
http://housecall.antivirus.com/
>
>5. If you use a Router, or similar networking/internet
sharing device, check for
> firmware updates. There's been a lot of
improvements with the release of DX 9.0b
> which you should download and install from:
www.microsoft.com/directx
>
>
>IF DISCONNECTED WHILE PLAYING:
>
>1. Disconnects can be caused by your Modem or Network
Cards and by other
> programs running on your system. See above for help
disabling those programs.
>
>2. Another reason for disconnects could be an external
router or modem that has
> overheated. Try unplugging it for awhile, and
contact your ISP to see if they have
> a newer model if the problem keeps recurring.
>
>3. Check for IRQ sharing: Click START / Run / type:
msinfo32 / ENTER
> Expand + Hardware Resources / Click on IRQ and
notice if the sound card, video
> card(s), and modem/network cards share the same
IRQ. If they do, move them into
> different slots, to prevent bottlenecks caused by
too much traffic on the same IRQ.
>
>4. Further to step 3., Make certain that your Network
adapter or Internal Modem
> is not in the slot directly beside the graphics
card, as those two must be separate.
