New Thread on Connection Issue

[Yourself]

I also have been having some connection issues (lagging) at times.

I am posting 4 screenshots - sorry for the quality.

What I am seeing (if I understand it correctly) is the problem rests right at the entrance to The Planet - that's our game hosting server, correct?

I don't know much about it, but I'm guessing that (generally) since the issue is right at the entrance to The Planet - it may be some of their equipment?

It looks like an ISP address at their door (their exposed external side of their router?) problem, then from there in.

Somebody who knows about this, please correct me.

A guess is equipment problems on their side (The Planet), equipment problems at the end of the ISP channel (AT&T), or possibly a denial-of-service attack?

The arguement against The Planet equipment is not everyone on the game experiences the lag at the same time, but that night several players were.

I hope this can help one of you smart people!

you know the guy that fixed my pc told me that this happens when our server(the planet) who i think prob. runs more that one type of game (world of warcraft, AA,) whatever has a big load so say we're playing and 60 people are going to have a raiding party on wow get together at the same time. i guess what im saying is we're all going through the same router at the same time. not just us but everybody. maybe that would explain why we have lag at certain times but not all times.
