Still lots of lag on MH, really bad tonight. Is there anything wrong with the NIC on the server?

The BF2 server was equally crud if not worse. In short I left both the CS and BF2 servers because they were unplayable. IMHO there is a problem with the server either software or hardware but there is a problem as traces to it were giving 10% PL.

...and trying to post anything is still a nightmare

Sorry to appear so negative but I've had a crap week, I hurt and I just want a game of BF2 or CS

I keep answering my own posts

There is 10% PL on many hops after 195.66.226.53 so it looks like there is a widespread problem as well as up to 50% PL from our own server.

Any virus/trojans blasting away just now that anyone is aware of?

PingPlotter trace attached

yeah, I'm seeing the same too. I've just got back as well

I'm trying to get access to the firewall to check the logs but it is very unresponsive so it 'may' be that which is causing the issue. I'll see if I can restart it remotely.

You're a lovely man, it's not true what OB says about you :devil:

Hope you can fix it GLOJ but as trace shows there are issues in other parts of the net too so if you can fix all of the internet by tomorrow night that would be just lovely

Mmm, posting this was a bit quicker. I'm on mSN, Yahoo, AIM and Xfire if you need to chat

I'd love to chat, but I'm going to bed! Kinda been a long day and I'm off out early again tomorrow!

Well what you doing in a forum yapping to the likes of me then? go get some shut eye

heres another ping plotter trace taken this morning. It shows regular busts of PL from the server IP as well as some disconcertingly high latencies at the 217.118.119.22 router (telehouse?)

Houston, we have a problem!

As an aside - if it's the NIC then I suspect we will live with it until new hardware goes into place, which should be shortly (no more than 4-6 weeks I hope). OTOH it could just be the settings settling down and still to be fine tuned - or the Telehouse switch being FUBAR. I'll leave that angle to G to report

I've mailed them already, however I know they were doing a pretty big server move today so wasn't expecting anything. If I've not heard anything by tomorrow then I'll chase them up.

Sadly I have noticed something but I don't intend to mention it in the main forum. The forums respond fine when there is noone on the BF2 server. Earlier there was 5 to 7 people playing BF2 and the forum was so unresponsive I couldn't actually post anything

Roll on the hardware upgrade - are we going to dual home it and run BF2 on a separate NIC to CZ? Might be worth considering if it hasn't been already?

We already have the forums on a separate NIC. But I am scheduled to call a coupel of people tomorrow to see if I can;t finalise somethign for the upgrade.

you should not notice any difference as the forums and web are on a completely different server to the game server.

I was thinking more of keeping CS traffic and BF2 traffic segregated
