Well, we might be in a better range for the RWIN, or ... there might have just been less traffic between you and us at that time , it's hard to say. :-(

We'll see how it goes for the next day or so, we can try bumping it higher and see if there is any help. We're really sort of trying to shave a cat here, and get you by on a technicality. Not really affecting the ping as much as working around it.

Hey mate there seem's to be a little bit of improvement but still that is better than total ping bust...
Cheer's eh i realize that i'am lucky to still be on, could have been a loss on my behalf.

Your modem/gateway must be changing and resending your MTU at 1400 instead of 1500.

You could try getting ahold of your ISP and asking if there is a way you could change that, or maybe change your computer's MTU (not RWIN) to 1400 so they match (no recalculation and retransmission required by your modem) to see if that helps. This is the longest shot yet, I'm running out of stuff to try. :(

Cheers' eh the fact i'm still here is great.
As for the MTU thingy, i'll try an get a answer or something from my provider to see wat's going on.

I was wonderin if there are others who are havin the same problem, i don't really read the garb that goes on durin the game but i have noticed there seem's to be a few in the same situation...
I only really know of 3 servers that play DC, 1 in Aus, 1 in NZ an of course yours.(The other 2 are rarely populated)

Once again mate ta for the advice and help it's great eh...

Have you tried by-passing your router?

I'm pretty sure it's his modem but it may have some built in router-like functionality, NAT, etc.

G/day, yes to your question about Ethernet card, an no router just the modem.
Atheros L2 Fast Ethernet 10/100 base-T Controller.

Greatfull for the help guy's eh.

I seem to be takin up your time with this, and your resourses, so i will keep tryin an hope for the best an hopefully see youz on the BF. (and i will definately keep tryin cause i really enjoy)

If not cheers heaps for the help an advice, fantastic...
