  • WinME and TCP/IP - PING Times

    Well I got a copy of WinME and installed it on an extra hd to see how my ping's in UT would be.
    Just to compare it with Win98, I logged onto the MGI server and played for a bit with Win98, then put the WinME drive in. My ping in Win98 was about 220-350, and in WinME it was 1200-4000 and with VERY high packet losses on the same server. I know using a modem the connect can change so I reconnected to my dial-up then connected to the server 2-3 times and the same thing happened
    So my question, is there something I need to tweak in WinME to get the ping and packet losses down. I like the way the game runs in WinME!
    Thanks,

    Oboy, there's a certain Sprint router connected to Matrox that's a major headache for all of us from time to time. Try again later and see if it's still that bad.

      Thanks Greebe!
      But it also happens on other servers.

        I'm running WinME, have been for about 2 months now (if not longer ), and I tried the MGI server a couple of times, when I was in the mood. Never had any problems. Besides being cannon fodder for the likes of .. oh well, about everyone that plays UT more than me

          OK then maybe the router that's at your ISP is the problem. I had to scream at Comcast@Home my provider for three day to get them to fix their Gateway. They didn't believe me when I claimed a 20-30% packet loss. I finally got ahold of a friend whom happens to be an @home tier 2 tech and slammed them on it also. Then and only then did they fix it!

            It seems to me that if your ping was fine with Win98 and bad with WinME, then it should have nothing to do with the ISP/Router (but maybe I'm wrong).

            Sounds like there should be some configuration setting in the operating system that would fix it. I don't know anything about ME so I can't help -- sorry Oboy.

            But I can help you test it some more by playing you online again.

              Hmm, I think the TCP/IP stack of ME came from Win2K, right? Try www.optimizing.net (good for dialup modems, I used it before I got DSL) for some optimizing tips.
