Ain't logged on for an age, no time
, tried to have a quick fly and can't log on to any of the solap servers, gpz and planet2 seem fine but fail to log on to solap, managed however to create a game on there as a test, can't switch it off now.... sorry 'bout that. Probably just being incredibly stoopid due to extreme sleeplessnessnessszzzzz......

Could you ping solap.fe23.co.uk and copy paste the results?
Open up the command prompt and type :
and see what it throws up.

My guess that there's something funky (and temporary) going on with your connection to Solap. Most people who have had issues can still get on, but with a poor ping. You, on the other hand, are losing 75% of the packets (not just delayed). Keep trying. I suspect it will clear up by itself.

thx all, damn those packets! still aint happenin, do you think it could have anything to do with the 15m modem cable i've just installed?

Is
this what you mean?
I dunno. It could be. There's certainly one way to find out. Can you take that out of the loop and connect your old way?

Nope, it can't be the cable you installed. You're losing your packets after it exits your ISP.
I think you should call up your ISP and tell them you are having trouble accessing websites from certain parts of the continental US. This might clear up in a while though.

Who is your ISP? And by any chance are you in South London? There's another player experiencing issues and I'm wondering if there's something common to both of you other than being in the UK. I don't think Sgt_Baker has experienced any issues. He might be in a different part of town or using a different ISP (and therefore a different routing path).

It's rather difficult to tell what's going on as it appears that there are some rather strict firewall rules between you and Solap which are preventing a decent network disgnosis. This, incidentally, appears to have nothing to do with your ISP. I have the same problem, except only three of my hops are FWed. Unfortunately, the links we know to be causing problems between Europe and Solap are right in the middle of the * * * mess.
Whilst it's of use to us that you've registered this as an issue, our hands are tied where giving a definitive diagnosis are concerned, so I'd lay a guess on the ge11-2 link problem.
Regards,
Baker
