Heh, YBN here with yet another problem which no one will solve and end up turning into a conversation about cabbages.

OK, I've been playing CS on my Mum's PC for about 2 days, and I've noticed my ping is constantly sky high. 1200 sky high. OK, here's my set up:

SMARTLINK MR2800-W modem (I think)
Software compression turned off
Connected to a reasonable ISP
WinME
Connected to random Barry's World servers

On UT on my otgher PC, I usually ping around 300. Yahoo is pinging around 520. Is this my problem or the server's? I think it's something to do with me, because that ping is STUPID!

Anyway, can anyone give any suggestions?

Ok i had same sorta problem this is wht i found it out to be...

1) Update drivers for modem this alwayts helps
2) the modem might be rubbish (even if its a well known brand it still can be the modem)
3) ISP
4) sometimes i noticed with my mums pc its not as good as mine and tht seems to affect the ping for some unknown reason.

Hope i helped out
Regards,
Lee

I've just come here to laugh. And don't blame my servers! they run very fast thanks very much! Might be a combination of crap modem and poor ISP, who is it by the way? How many times have you played and had pings like that? It might just of been a dodgy connection that night.

ahhh, CS ownage, the memories! Bloody school's changed all that now!
