help in troubleshooting

[KutsarA]

hi guys, these past weeks i've been having problems with my connection when playing sro. i can visit sites and use messengers without any problems, but with sro, lag is like at least 10 seconds, sometimes i experience smooth and no-lag gaming... but most of the time i lag... these past 2 days i can login no problem, but when im ingame, i lag and eventually get dc'ed.

i already called my ISP regarding my connection and they're currently monitoring it. if anyone here can help me in troubleshooting to figure out if it's really my connection's problem or my isp's connection to joymax's server... i did a traceroute to joymax.com and silkroadonline.net but im not sure what's the right hostname to type for the server im currently playing in.

thanks a lot

it might just be the server, also make sure your bridge or router isnt over heating, for i had a problem like this were i lagged and got d/c often and it was due to a overheating router.

yeah i tried unplugging both my modem and router and have them cool down. i even tried connecting directly to the modem to see if it's a prob with my router... still the same thing.. any networking tips u have for me? like the correct hosts to use when doing trace routes?
